Page 21 - Lecture says, or tries to say, that, life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books ; and that valuable books should, in a civilized country, be within the reach of every one, printed in excellent form, for a just price ; but not in any vile, vulgar, or, by reason of smallness of type, physically injurious form, at a vile price. For we none of us need many books, and those which we need ought to be clearly printed, on the best paper,...

Page 88 - His misery is a dead weight upon the nimbleness of one's quill ; I tried to forget it — to drink toddy without any care — to write a merry sonnet — it won't do — he talked with bitches, he drank with blackguards; he was miserable.
