Страница 290 - That she had a sufficient regard for me in her wild way, I had many reasons to believe. I will mention one.

Страница 349 - I perceive that in Germany, as well as in ' Italy, there is a great struggle about what they call ' " Classical " and " Romantic," — terms which were not ' subjects of classification in England, at least when I ' left it four or five years ago.
