Pagina 122 - What are the amusements at Ranelagh ? One half of the company are following one another's tails, in an eternal circle, like so many blind asses in an olive-mill, where they can neither discourse, distinguish, nor be distinguished ; while the other half are drinking hot water, under the denomination of tea, till nine or ten o'clock at night, to keep them awake for the rest of the evening.

Pagina 53 - The eye is continually entertained with the splendour of dress and equipage ; and the ear with the sound of coaches, chaises, chairs, and other carriages.
Pagina 189 - What right has such a fellow as you to set up for a reformer ?—Begging your honour's pardon, replied Clinker, may not the new light of God's grace, shine upon the poor and the ignorant in their humility, as well as upon the wealthy and the philosopher in all his pride of human learning...

Pagina 52 - This, I own, is a subject on which I cannot write with any degree of patience ; for the mob is a monster I never could abide, either in its head, tail, midriff, or members : I detest the whole of it, as a mass of ignorance, presumption, malice, and brutality...
