עמוד 25 - ... close joined together, of the most lively green, perfectly matched, every one as large as a half-crown piece, and as thick as three crown pieces ; and another of small emeralds, perfectly round. But her earrings eclipsed all the rest. They were two diamonds, shaped exactly like pears, as large as a big hazel-nut.
עמוד 26 - European queen has half the quantity ; and the empress's jewels, though very fine, would look very mean near hers. She gave me a dinner of fifty dishes of meat, which (after their fashion) were placed on the table but one at a time, and was extremely tedious.

עמוד 172 - French manners and characters, though this I believe would require but little study, as there is no great depth in either. It appears, on a superficial...
עמוד 260 - tis by far the wifer courfe, Superior art mould meet fuperior force : Hear, but be faithful to your intereft ftill : Secure your hearts — then fool with whom you will.
עמוד 233 - And orerfeen the card he would have play'd. * The bold and haughty by fuccefs made vain, Aw'd by my eyes, have trembled to complain : The bafhful 'Squire touch'd by A.
