Стр. 24 - ... really exist. It may be observed that the oldest poets of many nations preserve their reputation and that the following generations of wit, after a short celebrity, sink into oblivion.
Стр. 99 - ... the common road: or if, here and there, one should venture to use a liberty of judging, he can only impose the task upon himself without obtaining assistance from his fellows ; and, if he could dispense with this, he will still find his industry and resolution a great hindrance to his fortune.
