الصفحة 196 - For proof whereof, let but most of the verses be put in prose, and then ask the meaning, and it will be found that one verse did but beget another, without ordering at the first what should be at the last; which becomes a confused mass of words, with a tinkling sound of rhyme, barely accompanied with reason.
الصفحة 80 - Benedictins, 4to. torn. ip 481. In the eleventh century, the art of making paper, in the manner now become universal, was invented ; by means of that, not only the number of manuscripts increased, but the study of the sciences was wonderfully facilitated.

الصفحة 189 - ... presenting almost as varied an outline to the sky. One man, the wonder of Cosmo's age, Brunelleschi, had crowned the beautiful city with the vast dome of its cathedral, a structure unthought of in Italy before, and rarely since surpassed.
