Pagina 368 - Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant. And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.

Pagina 102 - Journalilt (Reviewer) requires that he fhould be attentive to this. If a work is not worth the trouble of reading, it is better not to announce it at all, than to rail at the Writer. It is illiberal to abufe a work merely to make the Publid merry at the expence of the Author.
Pagina 127 - Literature is with me a never failing remedy for all the ills of life ; nor did I ever know what that forrow was which an hour's reading could not diflipate. I awaken in the morning with a. fecret joy at feeing the dawn ; I regard the light with a feeling approaching to ecftacy ; and, daring the reft of the day, I am happy.
Pagina 451 - ... such force alone, that puts him that uses it into a state of war, and makes it lawful to resist him. A man with a sword in his hand, demands my purse in the highway, when perhaps I have not twelve-pence in my pocket: this man I may lawfully kill.
Pagina 262 - ... frivole. Il faut que je vous le rende utile; et pour vous donner une parfaite connaissance de la vie humaine, je veux vous expliquer ce que font toutes ces personnes que vous voyez. Je vais vous découvrir les motifs de leurs actions, et vous révéler jusqu'à leurs plus secrètes pensées.
Pagina 282 - They were discovered from the banks, stretching forth their hands, screaming, and imploring succour, while fragments of this remaining arch were continually dropping into the water. In this extreme danger, a nobleman, who was present...
