Seite 397 - I believe never was any thing compassed so soon : and purely done by my personal credit with Mr Harley ; who is so excessively obliging, that I know not what to make of it, unless to show the rascals of the other party, that they used a man unworthily who had deserved better.

Seite 433 - When a stranger approached him, he eagerly began to touch some part of his body, commonly taking hold of the arm, which he held near his nose ; and after two or three strong inspirations through the nostrils, he appeared to form a decided opinion regarding him. If this was favourable, he...
