Strona 157 - There are writers of great distinction, who have made it an argument for Providence, that the whole earth is covered with green, rather than with any other colour, as being such a right mixture of light and shade, that it comforts and strengthens the eye, instead of weakening or grieving it.
Strona 367 - A mode of speech in which the meaning is contrary to the words.
