Страница 308 - As also nature, to the acts requisite toward preservation of our life, hath annexed a sensible pleasure, forcibly enticing us to the performance of them : so hath she made the communication of benefits to others...
Страница 156 - The Name of four Cards in every Pack. KNOWLEDGE. In general, means Knowledge of the Town ; as this is, indeed, the only Kind of Knowledge ever spoken of in the polite World. -^--LEARNING. Pedantry. LOVE.
