Page 283 - Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason ; — they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.

Page 377 - WE must consult the gentlest manner and softest seasons of address ; our advice must not fall like a violent storm, bearing down and making those to droop, whom it is meant to cherish and refresh. It must descend as the dew upon the tender herb, or like melting flakes of snow ; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.

Improved by conscientious practice, and instinct with his earnest nature, this elocution was the acted sermon, and by its pantomimic portrait enabled the eye to anticipate each rapid utterance, and helped the memory to treasure up the palpable ideas.
