Страница xiii - I have found in this writer more original thinking and observation, upon the several subjects that he has taken in hand, than in any other, not to say, than in all others put together. His talent also for illustration is unrivalled. But his thoughts are diffused through a long, various, and irregular work.
Страница 482 - Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence ? If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there ; if I make my bed in the grave, behold, Thou art there.
