Seite 24 - She is one of the few persons who surpass expectation ; she has every sort of talent, and would be universally popular, if, in society, she were to confine herself to her inferior talents, — pleasantry, anecdote, and literature, — which are so much more suited to conversation than her eloquence and genius.
Seite 40 - I perpetually longed to write to her, but imperious obstacles are in the way ; and next, to you, to tell you as the person most likely to sympathise with me sincerely — the pleasure, the transport rather, with which I read nearly every phrase : such acuteness of thought, such vivacity of ideas, and such brilliancy of expression, I know not where I have met before.

Seite 11 - She is a woman of the first abilities, I think, I have ever seen ; she is more in the style of Mrs. Thrale than of any other celebrated character, but she has infinitely more depth, and seems an even profound politician and metaphysician. She has suffered us to hear some of her works in MS., which are truly wonderful, for powers both of thinking and expression.
Seite 24 - She treats me as the person whom she most delights to honour. I am generally ordered with her to dinner, as one orders beans and bacon : I have in consequence dined with her at the houses of almost all the cabinet ministers.
Seite 32 - ... among the works of women ; and which, in the union of the graces of society and literature with the genius of philosophy. is not surpassed by many among those of men.
Seite 36 - Papers, vol. ip 327) describes her as "ugly, and ' not of an intellectual ugliness. Her features were coarse, and the 'ordinary expression rather vulgar, she had an ugly mouth, and 'one or two irregularly prominent teeth, which perhaps gave her 'countenance an habitual gaiety. Her eye was full, dark, and ' expressive ; and when she declaimed, which was almost whenever 'she spoke, she looked eloquent, and one forgot that she was
