Page 46 - Her soul seems to have been made up of love and poetry. She felt the passion in all its warmth, and described it in all its symptoms. She is called by ancient authors the tenth muse ; and by Plutarch is compared to Cacus the son of Vulcan, who breathed out nothing but flame. I do not know by the character that is given of her works, whether it is not for the benefit of mankind that they are lost. They are filled with such bewitching tenderness and rapture, that it might have been dangerous to have...
Page 98 - ... few still remain for the raptures of the biblical collectors ; at a late sale the bible of Sixtus V. fetched above sixty guineas — not too much for a mere book of blunders ! The world was highly amused at the bull of the editorial Pope prefixed to the first volume, which excommunicates all printers who in reprinting the work should make any alteration in the text! In the version of the Epistles of St.
Page 247 - I believe, many others, would not lament, if out of the old manuscripts yet untouched, 10,000 more were faithfully collected ; some of which without question would render the text more beautiful, just, and exact; though of no consequence to the main of religion, nay, perhaps, wholly synonymous in the view of common readers, and quite insensible in any modern version,

Page 240 - Munthe have made from the Greek classics, together with an immense number which the author's own profound erudition supplied. The different senses of the words are investigated with the utmost philological precision : they are illustrated by the principal passages of the Greek Testament; and the whole is arranged in the most perspicuous manner.
Page 246 - Gospel, relating either to faith or morals ; and all the additions, countenanced by the whole mass of manuscripts already collated, do not introduce a single point essential either to faith or manners beyond what may be found in the Complutensian or Elzevir editions. And, though for the beauty, emphasis , and critical perfection of the letter of the New Testament, a new edition, formed on Griesbach's plan, is desirable ; yet from such an one infidelity can expect no help, false doctrine no support,...
Page 143 - I have read it twice through, and it is one of the best edited books ever delivered to the world. Mrs. Grierson was a lady possessed of singular erudition, and had an elegance of taste and solidity of judgment which justly rendered her one of the most wonderful, as well as amiable, of her sex. Prefixed to this edition is a dedication to Lord Carteret, by Mrs. Grierson, in most elegant Latinity.
Page 99 - V. His holiness carefully superintended every sheet as it passed through the press ; and, to the amazement of the world, the work- remained without a rival — it swarmed with errata! A multitude of scraps were printed to paste over the erroneous passages, in order to give the true text. The book makes a whimsical appearance with these patches ; and the heretics exulted in this demonstration of papal infallibility ! The copies were called in, and violent attempts made to suppress it...
