Seite 305 - I must give this rustic some idea of my consequence [aside] . You must know, Farmer, you have the honour of conversing with a man who has obtained patents for tweezers, tooth-picks, and tinder-boxes — to a philosopher who has been...
Seite 283 - towards the house-rent, buildings, scaffolding, and making of frames for scenes ; one for a provision of habits, properties, and scenes, for a supplement of the said theatre ; and seven to maintain all the women that are to perform or represent women's parts, in tragedies, comedies, &c., and in consideration of creating and establishing his actors to be a company, and his pains and expenses for that purpose for many years.
Seite 285 - ... heads, bags, and court swords.
