Side 471 - It was not at that distance discernible from what mountain this cloud issued, but it was found afterwards to ascend from Mount Vesuvius. I cannot give you a more exact description of its figure than by resembling it to that of a pinetree, for it shot up a great height in the form of a trunk, which extended itself at the top into a sort of branches...

He accordingly changed his first design, and what he began with a philosophical, he pursued with an heroical turn of mind.
Side 473 - ... presence of mind, as to be able to make and dictate his observations upon the motion and figure of that dreadful scene.
Side 45 - April scarcely a day has passed on which we have not been entertained with the recital of some poem.
