Страница 116 - A man of letters at present, whose works are valuable, is perfectly sensible of their value. Every polite member of the community, by buying what he writes, contributes to reward him. The ridicule, therefore, of living in a garret, might have been wit in the last age, but continues such no longer, because no longer true.
Страница 50 - I must confess, that upon entering the gardens I found every sense overpaid with more than expected pleasure ; the lights every where glimmering through the scarcely moving trees; the full-bodied concert bursting on the stillness of the night, the natural concert of the birds, in the more retired part of the grove, vying with that which was formed by art ; the company gaily dressed, looking satisfaction ; and the tables spread...
Страница 109 - The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.

From thence nine of us ran together to the quay, and seizing the first boat we met, got out of the harbour and put to sea.
Страница 261 - How few appear in those streets which but some few hours ago were crowded ! and those who appear, now no longer wear their daily mask, nor attempt to hide their lewdness or their misery. But who are those who make the streets their couch, and find a short repose from wretchedness at the doors of the opulent?
Страница 272 - I hoped to be set on shore, and to have the pleasure of spending my money ; but the government wanted men, and so I was pressed for a sailor before ever I could set foot on shore.
Страница 116 - At present the few poets of England no longer depend on the great for subsistence ; they have now no other patrons but the public, and the public, collectively considered, is a good and a generous master.
Страница 269 - As for my misfortunes, master, I can't pretend to have gone through any more than other folks : for, except the loss of my limb, and my being obliged to beg, I don't know any reason, thank Heaven, that I have to complain ; there is Bill Tibbs, of our regiment, he has lost both his legs, and an eye to boot ; but, thank Heaven, it is not so bad with me yet.
Страница 48 - ... wishes in this also were answered ; he still dreamed of the same pan of money, in the very same place. Now, therefore, it was past a doubt ; so, getting up early the third morning, he...
