第 74 頁 - ... gentlemen ; men valuable for their good sense and manners, their acquaintance with letters, and every other good quality. Then, when I cannot enjoy their conversation, I betake myself to the reading of some good book. When I have read as much as I like, I write ; endeavouring in this as in every thing else, to be of service to others, to the utmost of my power.
第 102 頁 - Now, as some of these people think these are trials sent them by God Almighty with a view of promoting their salvation, that they may do penance in this life for their past -errors, I cannot help saying, that, in my opinion, they are greatly mistaken. For I can by no means believe, that it is agreeable to the Deity, that man, his favorite creature, should live infirm, melancholy, and dissatisfied; but rather enjoy good health and spirits, and be always content within himself. ' In this manner did...
第 105 頁 - ... was indeed next to a miracle how I could write so much, and upon subjects that required both judgment and spirit. And indeed, my Lord, it is incredible, what satisfaction and pleasure I have in these compositions. But as I write to be useful, your Lordship may easily conceive what pleasure I enjoyed.
