Sida 233 - Heaven and earth shall pass away : but my word shall not pass away, xxi.
Sida 233 - And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Sida 225 - Hume's oft-repeated sophism, that no testimony can establish an alleged fact which is at variance with common experience ; for it must not be denied that some few instances of the sort alluded to rest upon testimony in itself thoroughly unimpeachable ; nor is the import of the evidence in these cases at all touched by the now wellunderstood doctrine concerning spectral illusions.
Sida 244 - ... alone was freely developed ; if we realized the truth thus expressed by a powerful writer — " within the entire circle of our intellectual constitution, we value nothing but emotion ; it is not the powers, but the fruit of those powers, in so much feeling of a lofty kind as they will yield.
