Pagina 81 - When Goldsmith was dying, Dr. Turton said to him, " Your pulse is in greater disorder than it should be, from the degree of fever which you have : is your mind at ease ?" Goldsmith answered it was not.
Pagina 197 - That the influence of the Crown had increased, was increasing, and ought to be diminished:
