Страница 184 - Johnson, upon all occasions, expressed his approbation of enforcing instruction by means of the rod. "I would rather [said he] have the rod to be the general terror to all, to make them learn, than tell a child, if you do thus, or thus, you will be -more esteemed than your brothers or sisters.

He may direct it differently; he may, by accident, see the success of one kind of study, and take a desire to excel in it. I am persuaded that, had Sir Isaac Newton applied to poetry, he would have made a very fine epic poem. I could as easily apply to law as to tragic poetry." BOSWELL. '"Yet, sir, you did apply to tragic poetry, not to law.
Страница 64 - Well, Mr. Pitt, I see (or I fear) this won't do. My honour is concerned, and I must support it ! Et sic finite, estfabula.
