Էջ xxiv - The Art of Criticism, which was published some months since, and is a master-piece in its kind. The observations follow one another like those in Horace's Art of Poetry, without that methodical regularity which would have been requisite in a prose author.
Էջ 233 - This piece was received with greater applause than was ever known.
