Book Description
Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works and Novels, Vol. 5 of 7 Some house, requested to be considered as his host, till he returned for his family. The morning was agreeably passed in examining the premises, and in making an arrangement for such articles of furniture as Aubrey wanted, and Mr. Dodson was willing to part with. It may be remembered, that the former had no household furniture; what he possessed be fore his uncle's death having been disposed of when the family went abroad, as it would be out of fashion before their return to England. It was therefore Aubrey's intention to see his house first, order what he might want immediately, in the neighbourhood, and write to London for what could not be obtained in the country. This design was in a great measure rendered unnecessary by his having'the option of entering the house nearly completely furnished. The moveables that had been put in by Mr. Dod son were good and fashionable; but there were a variety of articles which had been long stationary, and which he had purchased from the rector. These formed a considerable part of the furniture, and though they were not fashionable, they possessed a simple dignity derived from their appearance and from the proprietors to whom they had belonged, which had always obtained them more admiration than the lighter ornaments of modern taste. They consisted of massy wardrobes, marble slabs and vases, mahogany tables, large mirrors, and china jars. When Aubrey expressed his intention to include these articles, Mr. Dodson informed him, that Dr. Searle had repurchased them as soon as he knew of his preferment; but said, at the same time, that he had no doubt that the Doctor would let him have them. Having settled that the rest should be appraised on the Monday following, Mr. Dodson proposed a ride round the adjacent country before dinner. As Arthur soon after conducted his sisters.

Excerpt from The Theological and Miscellaneous Works, Vol. 9 Being a Unitarian, and all the preceding general ecclesias tical historians having been Trinitarians, it was impossible but that I should see many things in a very different light from them, and therefore our representations of them will be very different, when there is no dispute about the facts. Characters of men, and of times, must vary with the senti ments ofthe writers on subjects of such importance as those in which I differ from my predecessors. Of this the reader will easily be apprized, and therefore he will make what allowance he shall think necessary on that account; and if my readers be men of candour, they will shew it on this occasion. This all Protestant writers do with respect to the writings of Catholics, from whose histories they take facts of the greatest importance, when they differ from them the most With respect to their judgment concerning those facts.

Excerpt from Tales, and Miscellaneous Pieces, Vol. 9 of 14 Vivian exposes one of the most common defects of mankind-to be infirm of purpose is to be at the mercy of the artful, or at the disposal of accident. Look round, and count the numbers who have, within your own knowledge, failed from want of firmness. An excellent and wise mother gave the following advice with her dying breath My son, learn early how to say, N o! - This precept gave the first idea of the story of Vivian.

Excerpt from The Scourge, Or, Literary, Theatrical and Miscellaneous Magazine, Vol. 9 The true history of our acquiescence under the most enormous burthens, previous to the accessmn of. The Prince Regent, can only be explained by a reference to the per sonal' character of' his majesty. Vvar-taxes, and the' means of carrymg on the war, (if war must be carried on) have seldom excited the clamor ofthe English people, It is of superfluous, gratuitous, and profligate expence, that they are prone to complain; of expence incurred in defiance of the general opinion of the nation, lavished on unpopular objects, and without any apparent regard to the exigenmes of the moment. 'w'hatever'might be the injury sustained in consequence of the policy off William, Pitt, who will assert that the money was un'profitably employed? One general conviction pervad ed the nation, that within the sphere of an exalted individual's influence, the wealth of the public would at least be expended on proper objects, meted with 'dis cre'tion; and when devoted to acts of liberality, would' also be devoted to acts of virtue. A noble and merited tribute to integrity, benevolence, and forbearance, before which the self-dermal 'of Scipio fades away and of which.

Book Description
Excerpt from The North American Review and Miscellaneous Journal, Vol. 9 We have never given an account of Mr. Hogg's writings, though they are deserving of attention as well from their respectability as from the peculiar circumstances under which the author appeared before the public; a short notice of the Queen's Wake, which did not enter at large into its merits, is all that we find about him on looking over our preceding numbers. Indeed, he seems to have faded fast from the memory of the public, though considerable curiosity was excited by his first appearance: much of that was owing to his obscure situation and narrow means of education; from which we were surprised to see him break out with so much of the air of an author. It was natural in such a case to expect too much from him, and when he failed to satisfy that expectation, it was equally natural to place him lower than he deserved.

Book Description
Excerpt from Once a Week, Vol. 9 We walked together until we came to where Alice and her aunt were seated. I presented my friends, Mr. And Mrs. Aranda, but was astonished at the strange effect produced on Aunt Winifred by the introduction. She started forward, and after peering curiously at Paul from under her coarse red eyebrows, seemed to settle down into her usual manner. It struck me, too, that Paul was not unmoved. The pupils of his eyes were dilated to an unnatural size, and an indescribable change came over his countenance, but it was only momentary. Alice and Clara soon became friendly, Paul joined in their conversation, and I was left to take care of Aunt Winifred. She whispered.
