الصفحة 330 - It is needless to say, that with those vast resources, his conversation was at all times rich and instructive in no ordinary degree ; but it was, if possible, still more pleasing than wise, and had all the charms of familiarity, with all the substantial treasures of knowledge.

Indeed, it was after that time that he applied himself, with all the ardour of early life, to the invention of a machine for mechanically copying all sorts of sculpture and statuary ; — and distributed among his friends some of its earliest performances, as the productions of " a young artist, just entering on his eighty-third year !" This happy and useful life came, at last, to a gentle close.
الصفحة 329 - But these are poor and narrow views of its importance. It has increased indefinitely the mass of human comforts and enjoyments, and rendered cheap and accessible, all over the world, the materials of wealth and prosperity. It has armed the feeble hand of man, in short, with a power to which no limits can be assigned; completed the dominion of mind over the most refractory qualities of matter; and laid a sure foundation for all those future miracles of mechanical power which are to aid and reward...

George Wolfe bowed his head, and was scarcely able to utter, " I thank you," when he heard himself acquitted. When they were asked successively what they had to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced, John Eden said he was innocent, and went into a confused statement of perjuries against him, and of his having never seen the man in his life. James Wolfe said,...
الصفحة 331 - He had a certain quiet and grave humour, which ran through most of his conversation, and a vein of temperate jocularity, which gave infinite zest and effect to the condensed and inexhaustible information which formed its main staple and characteristic. There was a little air of affected testtness, and a tone of pretended rebuke and contradiction, with which he used to...
