Página 171 - Do with me what else you like, but bleed me you shall not. I have had several inflammatory fevers in my life, and at an age when more robust and plethoric ; yet I got through them without bleeding. This time, also, will I take my chance.
Página 135 - I think, howsoever it may be taken. Men may censure and object as they please, but I appeal to time and experiment. Effects misimputed, cases wrong told, circumstances overlooked, perhaps too, prejudices and partialities against truth, may for a time prevail and keep her at the bottom of her well, from whence nevertheless she emergeth sooner or later, and strikes the eyes of all who do not keep them shut.
