Page 239 - The spot thus adorned could not long remain a desert to my imagination. I soon peopled it with beings after my own heart ; and, dismissing opinion, prejudice, and all factitious passions, I brought to these sanctuaries of Nature men worthy of inhabiting them. I formed with these a charming society, of which I did not feel myself unworthy. I made a Golden Age according to my fancy ; and, filling up these bright days with all the scenes of my life that had left the tenderest recollections, and with...

Page 159 - I shall therefore venture to acknowledge, that, not only as a man, but as a BRITISH subject, I pray for the flourishing commerce of GERMANY, SPAIN, ITALY, and even FRANCE itself.
