Pagina 148 - Lords and Commons, nemine contradicente; and the whole town, men, women, and children, are quite full of it. Perhaps I may all this time be talking to you of a book you have never seen, and which...

Pagina 147 - Gulliver, which hath been the conversation of the whole town ever since : the whole impression sold in a week ; and nothing is more diverting than to hear the different opinions people give of it, though all agree in liking it extremely. It is generally said that you are the author : but I am told, the bookseller declares, he knows not from what hand it came.
Pagina 302 - THOUGH you were never to write to me, yet what you desired in your last, that I would write often to you, would be a very easy task ; for every day I talk with you, and of you, in my heart ; and I need only set down what that is thinking of.
