Pagina 476 - Particular passages are cleared by notes, but the general effect of the work is weakened. The mind is refrigerated by interruption ; the thoughts are diverted from the principal subject; the reader is weary, he suspects not why; and at last throws away the book which he has too diligently studied.
Pagina 475 - I believe, is seldom pleased to find his opinion anticipated ; it is natural to delight more in what we find or make, than in what we receive.
