Strona 228 - With these we may likewise rank the affected tribe of mimics, who are constantly taking off the peculiar tone of voice or gesture of their acquaintance; though they are such wretched imitators, that (like bad painters) they are frequently forced to write the name under the picture, before we can discover any likeness.
Strona 55 - I have often beheld two of those sages almost sinking under the weight of their packs, like pedlars among us; who, when they met in the streets, would lay down their loads, open their sacks, and hold conversation for an hour together ; then put up their implements, help each other to resume their burthens, and take their leave.

Strona 230 - ... patience by pointing out all the pests of conversation ; nor dwell particularly on the Sensibles, who pronounce dogmatically on the most trivial points, and speak in sentences :....the Wonderers, who are always wondering what o'clock it is...
Strona 210 - Dunstan's, serve the bells in capacity of clappers, by striking them alternately with a hammer.
