205 페이지 - To abstract the mind from all local emotion would be impossible if it were endeavoured, and would be foolish if it were possible. Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses ; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings.
15 페이지 - Nature I believe never formed any man more unlike his real character than David Hume. The powers of physiognomy were baffled by his countenance ; neither could the most skilful in that science pretend to discover the smallest trace of the faculties of his mind in the unmeaning features of his visage. His face was broad and fat, his mouth wide, and without any other expression than that of imbecility. His eyes vacant and spiritless ; and the corpulence of his whole person was far better fitted to...
233 페이지 - How my friend Hume was able to endure the encounter of these French female Titans I know not. In England, either his philosophic pride, or his conviction that infidelity was ill suited to women, made him perfectly averse from the initiation of ladies into the mysteries of his doctrine.
343 페이지 - Di. has promised to make a drawing of it. Our poor club is in a miserable decay : unless you come and relieve it, it will certainly expire. Would you imagine, that Sir Joshua Reynolds is extremely anxious to be a member of Almack's ? You see what noble ambition will make a man attempt. That den is not yet opened, consequently I have not been there ; so, for the present, I am clear upon that score.
231 페이지 - I have just now had the best thing said to me I ever heard. I was complaining in a company, where I spent the morning, that I was very ill treated by the world, and that the censures past upon me were hard and unreasonable.
231 페이지 - Hume's fashion at Paris, when he was there as secretary to Lord Hertford, was truly ridiculous; and nothing ever marked, in a more striking manner, the whimsical genius of the French. No man, from his manners, was surely less formed for their society, or less likely to meet with their approbation; but that flimsy philosophy which pervades and...
66 페이지 - ... understanding, far overpaid me for all the inconveniences of my ducking. Liberty, however, is the glorious cause! that it is which gives human nature fair play, and allows every singularity to show itself, and which, for one less agreeable oddity it may bring to light, gives to the world ten thousand great and useful examples.
232 페이지 - And yet no lady's toilet was complete without Hume's attendance. At the opera, his broad unmeaning face was usually seen entre deuxjolis minois. The ladies in France give the ton, and the ton was deism; a species of philosophy ill suited to the softer sex, in whose delicate frame weakness is interesting, and timidity a charm. But the women in France were deists, as with us they were charioteers. The tenets of the new philosophy were...
234 페이지 - Indeed, his history is as dangerous in politics, 'as his essays are in religion; and»it is somewhat extraordinary, that the tame man who labours to free the mind from what he supposes religious prejudices, should as zealously endeavour to shackle it with the servile ideas of despotism.
14 페이지 - Creator, as a balance against those passions which, though perhaps necessary as incitements to activity, must, without such controul, inevitably have hurried us to our ruin. The world, however, unconscious of its danger, had greedily swallowed the bait; the essays were received with applause, read with delight, and their admired author was already, by public opinion, placed at the head of the dangerous school of sceptic philosophy. With this extraordinary man I was intimately acquainted. He had kindly...
