Strana 319 - A NEW HISTORY OF THE HOLY BIBLE, from the Beginning of the World to the Establishment of Christianity...
Strana 278 - A Parallel in the manner of Plutarch, between a most celebrated man of Florence, and one, scarce ever heard of, in England...

His criticism, however, was commonly just; what he thought, he thought rightly ; and his remarks were recommended by his coolness and candour.
Strana 82 - The Universal Visitor,' for poor Smart, while he was mad, not then knowing the terms on which he was engaged to write, and thinking I was doing him good. I hoped his wits would soon return to him. Mine returned to me, and I wrote in 'The Universal Visitor* no longer.
Strana 248 - Never,' says Bolton in his Hypercritica, ' must be forgotten St. Peter's Complaint and those other serious poems said to be father Southwell's ; the English whereof, as it is most proper, so the sharpness and light of wit is very rare in them.
