Seite 160 - There's such divinity doth hedge a king, That treason can but peep to what it would, Acts little of his will.
Seite 74 - It addresses itself entirely to the imaginative faculty ; and although the illusion may be assisted by the effect on the senses of the complicated scenery and decorations of modern times, yet this sort of assistance is dangerous.
