Side 69 - The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth ; When there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth...
Side 54 - In darkness, and with dangers compass'd round, And solitude ; yet not alone, while thou Visit'st my slumbers nightly, or when morn Purples the east : still govern thou my song...
Side ix - Of the dialectic and physics of Plato they are the only exposition at once full accurate, and popular, with which I am acquainted : being far more accurate than the French, and incomparably more popular than the German treatises on these departments of the Platonic philosophy.
Side 35 - O, for a muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention ! A kingdom for a stage, princes to act, And monarchs to behold the swelling scene...

Side 369 - At inductio, quae ad inventionem et demonstrationem scientiarum et artium erit utilis, naturam se parare debet, per rejectiones et exclusiones debitas ; ac deinde post negativas tot quot sufficiunt, super affirmativas concludere ; quod adhuc factum non est, nee tentatum certe, nisi tantummodo a Platone, qui ad excutiendas definitiones et ideas, hac certe forma inductionis aliquatenus utitur.
Side ix - Scotch schools of psychologists, has enabled him to illustrate the subtle speculations of which he treats in a manner calculated to render them more intelligible to the English mind than they can be made by writers trained solely in the technicalities of modern German Schools, or by those who disdain the use of illustration altogether. Of the Dialectic and physics of Plato they are the only exposition at once full, accurate, and popular, with which I am acquainted.
Side 125 - At nos certe de universis haec quae dicta sunt intelligimus: atque quemadmodum vulgaris logica, quae regit res per Syllogismum, non tantum ad naturales, sed ad omnes scientias pertinet; ita et nostra, quae procedit per Inductionem, omnia complectitur.
