But What Can A Man See Of

It Is Wonderful That Five Thousand Years Have Now Elapsed Since The Creation Of The World, And Still It Is Undecided Whether Or Not There Has Ever Been An Instance Of The Spirit Of Any Person Appearing After Death. All Argument Is Against It; But All Belief Is For It.

My Curiosity To See The Melancholy Spectacle Of The Executions Was So Strong That I Could Not Resist It, Although I Was Sensible That I Would Suffer Much From It.... I Got Upon A Scaffold Near The Fatal Tree So That I Could Clearly See All The Dismal Scene.... I Was Most Terribly Shocked, And Thrown Into A Very Deep Melancholy.

If A Man Is Prodigal, He Cannot Be Truly Generous.

My Mind Was, As It Were, Strongly Impregnated With The Johnsonian Ether.

I Am Sensible That My Keenness Of Temper, And A Vanity To Be Distinguished For The Day, Make Me Too Often Splash In Life.... I Amresolved To Restrain Myself And Attend More To Decorum.
