第487页 - I need say no more ; but as for that Hydra, take good heed, for you know that here I have found it as well cunning as malicious. It is true that your grounds are well laid, and I assure you that I have a great trust in your care and judgment. Yet my opinion is, that it will not be the worse for my service though their obstinacy make you to break them, for I fear that they have some ground to demand more than...
第101页 - Sunday (said he) was a heavy day to me when I was a boy. My mother confined me on that day, and made me read ' The Whole Duty of Man,' from a great part of which I could derive no instruction.
