Sida 272 - I can, at any rate, show that the experiments made with it at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century fully confirm the high encomium bestowed by Dioscorides upon his indicum.
Sida 141 - We cannot justify Werner : yet let him be condemned with pity ! And well were it could each of us apply to himself those words, which Hitzig, in his friendly indignation, would 'thunder in the ears...
Sida 456 - Audacious ; but, that seat soon failing, meets A vast vacuity : all unawares, Fluttering his pennons vain, plumb down he drops Ten thousand' fathom deep, and to this hour Down had been falling, had not by ill chance The strong rebuff of some tumultuous cloud, Instinct with fire and nitre, hurried him As many miles aloft : that fury stayed, Quenched in a boggy Syrtis, neither sea, Nor good dry land : nigh foundered, on he fares Treading the crude consistence, half on foot, Half flying; behoves him...

Sida 249 - One drop of water now, alas ! I crave. The rills, that glitter down the grassy slopes Of Casentino, making fresh and soft The banks whereby they glide to Arno's stream, Stand ever in my view ; and not in vain ; For more the pictured semblance dries me up, Much more than the disease, which makes the flesh Desert these shrivel'd cheeks.
Sida 434 - How indifferent did the audience sit; how little use was made of the handkerchief, except by such as took snuff! Did not CEdipus somewhat remind us of a blubbering schoolboy, and Jocasta of a decayed milliner?
