I have read, that it had been the fortunes of all poets commonly to die beggars ; but for an orator, a lawyer, and philosopher, as he was, to die so, it is rare.
Página 30 - I came ; nor has he ever made me an invitation ; either he dares not, or is such a thoughtless Tisdall fellow, that he never minds it. So what care I for his wit ? for he is the worst company in the world, till he has a bottle of wine in his head.
Página 131 - Trincomale, in confideration of the defence they have made, will be allowed to march out of the fort with the honours of war, drums beating and colours flying, to the glacis, where they will ground their arms, and furrender themfelves prifoners of war ; the officers keeping their i'words.
Página 402 - The necessity of such caution and secrecy was one cogent reason for vesting the power of making treaties in the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, the principle on which that body was formed confining it to a small number of members. To admit, then, a right in the House of Representatives to demand and to have as a matter of course all the papers respecting a negotiation with a foreign power would be to establish a dangerous precedent.

Página 306 - The editor, or author, never could fhew the original; nor can it be fhewn by any other; to revenge reafonable incredulity, by refufing evidence, is a degree of infolence, with which the world is not yet acquainted ; and ftubborn audacity is the laft refuge of guilt.
