Note 287 — PART THE SECOND. (continued 6)
Reading edition
"If there is a regard due to the memory of the dead, there is yet more respect to be paid to knowledge, to virtue, and to truth."
"It is the business of a biographer to pass lightly over those performances and actions which produce vulgar greatness; to lead the thoughts into domestic privacies, and display the minute details of daily life, where exterior appearances are laid aside."—Rambler, No. 60, Vol. ii.
