Strana xxxviii - REFLECTIONS. 103 often weighty burdens devoid of beauty or value, — at times precious masses sparkling with gems or with ore. Having at length attained its greatest width and extension, commanding admiration by its beauty and power, waste predominates over supply, the vital springs begin to fail; it stoops into an attitude of decrepitude; it drops the burdens one by one which it had borne so proudly aloft — its dissolution is inevitable. But as it is resolved into its elements, it takes all at...
Strana xxiv - The close attention requisite in following the voice of the speaker induces habits of patience, perseverance, and watchfulness, which will gradually extend themselves to other pursuits and avocations, and at length inure the writer to exercise them on every occasion in life. When writing in public, it will also be absolutely necessary to distinguish and adhere to the train of thought which runs through the discourse, and to observe the modes of its connection.

Strana xxvi - ... are the powers of retention strengthened and expanded by this exertion, that a practical stenographer will frequently recollect more, without writing, than a person unacquainted with the art could copy in the time by the use of the common hand.
Strana xxxviii - Heaven-descended in its origin, it yet takes its mould and conformation from the hidden womb of the mountain which brought it forth. At first soft and ductile, it acquires a character and firmness of its own, as an inevitable destiny urges it on its onward career.
Strana xxxviii - ... crosses and inequalities of its prescribed path. Hedged in by impassable barriers which fix limits to its movements, it yields groaning to its fate, and still travels forward, seamed with the scars of many a conflict with opposing obstacles. All this while, although wasting, it is renewed by an unseen power; it evaporates, but is not consumed.
Strana xxviii - But it has additional and peculiar favours in store for those who are so far convinced of its utility as personally to engage in its pursuit. The advantages resulting from the exercise of this art, are not, as is the case with many others, confined to a particular class of society ; for though it may seem more immediately...
Strana xxviii - ... lost. Among the latter may be instanced those of Whitfield, whose astonishing powers could move even. infidelity itself, and extort admiration from a Chesterfield, and a Hume, but whose name would have floated down the stream of time, had not Shorthand rescued a portion of his labours from oblivion. With so many vouchers for the truth of the remark, we can have...
Strana xxxviii - Jostled and constrained by the crosses and inequalities of its prescribed path, hedged in by impassable barriers which fix limits to its movements, it yields groaning to its fate, and still travels forward seamed with the scars of many a conflict with opposing obstacles.
