Página 91 - ... another bull, and effectually sickened. I hate bull-dogs ; they are a surly, vicious breed, ever ready to attack, mischievous and malicious enough to deserve parliamentary praise from Mr. Wyndham and Mr. Canning. A large theatre was completely full ; men, women, and children were clapping their hands at every wound, and watching with delight the struggles of the dying beasts.

Página 276 - I look upon the invention of reviews to be the worst injury which literature has received since its revival. People formerly took up a book to learn from it, and with a feeling of respectful thankfulness to the man who had spent years in acquiring that knowledge, which he communicates to them in a few hours ; now they only look for faults. Everybody is a critic, that is, every reader imagines himself superior to the author, and reads his book that he may censure it, not that he may improve by it.
Página 349 - Lisbon without you ; a resolution which, if your feelings be at all like mine, will not displease you. If, on mature consideration, you think the inconvenience of a voyage more than you ought to submit to, I must be content to stay in England, as on my part it certainly is not worth while to sacrifice a year's happiness ; for though not unhappy (my mind is too active and too well disciplined to yield to any such criminal weakness), still without you I am not happy.
