Pagina 346 - He was accordingly summoned, and made his appearance, which was equally queer and pathetic. He seemed to be about twenty years of age, of a middling size, with bandy legs, stooping shoulders, high forehead, sandy locks, p'inking eyes, flat nose, and long chin ; but his complexion was of a sickly yellow : his looks denoted famine : and the rags that he wore could hardly conceal what decency requires to be covered.

Pagina 11 - The reader gratifies his curiosity, in pursuing the adventures of a person in whose favour he is prepossessed; he espouses his cause, he sympathizes with him in distress, his indignation is heated against the authors of his calamity; the humane passions are inflamed...
