Pàgina 38 - The skins of the forehead were extremely tough and thick, and, what Very much surprised us, had not in them any single blood-vessel that we were able to discover, either with or without our glasses; from whence we concluded, that the party when alive must have been entirely deprived of the faculty of blushing.
Pàgina 55 - The loves of Dido and ^Eneas are only copies of what has passed between other persons.
