By this sharp, but salutary admonition, I felt myself summoned by God to scrutinize the ingrained spots of my conscience, and most humbly and submissively lay them before his sight. I therefore thought I should perform a grateful task in presenting an account of my past years to...
Sayfa 220 - ... In these operations acute conjectures were applied, which flattered the understanding with an appearance of truth, and obtained credit, though often false and fallacious. It was certainly necessary to seek a remedy for the errors arising from bad copies, ignorance and negligence of transcribers, &c. But now, in this light of letters, after such long and assiduous toil in the emendation of ancient books, by which they have been restored to their pristine splendour, to spend a whole life in the...
