Strana 261 - Delightful task! to rear the tender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot...
Strana 24 - It is certain, that proper gestures and vehement exertions of the voice cannot be too much studied by a public orator. They are a kind of comment to what he utters, and enforce every thing he says, with weak hearers, better than the strongest argument he can make use of.
Strana 470 - Sirs, why do ye these things ?
