Halaman 260 - Do you know that Grub Street is dead and gone last week ? No more ghosts or murders now for love or money. I plied it pretty close the last fortnight, and published at least seven penny papers of my own, besides some of other people's : but now every single half sheet pays a halfpenny to the queen. The Observator...
Halaman 430 - It happens to very few men, in any age or country, to come into the world with so many advantages of nature and fortune as the late secretary Bolingbroke : descended from the best families in England, heir to a great patrimonial estate, of a sound constitution, and a most graceful, amiable person : but all these, had they been of equal value, were infinitely inferior in degree to the accomplishments of his mind, which was adorned with the choicest gifts that God has...
Halaman 281 - I think I know the author of this, and, to shew him I know no revenge, but in the method of heaping coals on his head by benefits, I forbear giving him what he deserves, for no other reason, but that I know his sensibility of reproach is such, as that he would be unable to bear life itself, under half the ill language he has given me.

Halaman 313 - The public spirit of the Whigs, set forth in their generous encouragement of the author of the Crisis ; with some observations on the seasonableness, candour, erudition, and style of that treatise.
Halaman 299 - I would only have his Friends be cautious, not to reward him too liberally: For, as it was said of Cranmer, Do the Archbishop an ill Turn, and he is your Friend for ever: So I do affirm of your Member, Do Mr. Steele a good Turn, and he is your Enemy for ever.
Halaman 307 - God be thanked, she hath got it, without any more expense, either of shot or powder. Her dog-keepers, for some years past, had directed her gun against her friends, and at last loaded it so deep, that it was in danger to burst in her hands. You may please to observe, that Mr. Steele calls this dogkeeper a "minister," which, with humble submission, is a gross impropriety of speech.
Halaman 380 - I found myself much inclined to be what they call a Whig in politics; and that besides, I thought it impossible, upon any other principle, to defend or submit to the Revolution...
Halaman 440 - ... principally because I observed they heartily loved one another, and I did not see how their kindness could be disturbed by competition, since each of them seemed contented with his own district; so. that, notwithstanding the old maxim which pronounces Court friendships to be of no long duration, I was confident theirs would last as long as their lives.
Halaman 290 - Then he recommends to your perusal, and sends you a copy of, a printed paper given gratis about the streets, which is the memorial of monsieur Tugghe, abovementioned, " Deputy of the magistrates of Dunkirk," to desire her majesty not to demolish the said town.
