A POET'S CALCULATION CONCERNING THE TIME EMPLOYED IN SHAVING, AND THE USE THAT MIGHT BE MADE OF IT. THE LAKE POETS LAKE SHAVERS ALSO. A PROTEST AGAINST LAKE SHAVING. Intellect and industry are never incompatible. There is more wisdom, and will be more benefit, in combining them than scholars like to believe, or than the common world imagine. Life has time enough for both, and its happiness will be increased by the union. SHARON TURNER. CHAPTER CLV.—p. 215. THE POET'S CALCULATION TESTED AND PROVED. Fiddle-faddle, dont tell of this and that, and every thing in the world, but give me mathematical demonstration. CONGREVE. CHAPTER CLVI.—p. 222. AN ANECDOTE OF WESLEY, AND AN ARGUMENT ARISING OUT OF IT, TO SHOW THAT THE TIME EMPLOYED IN SHAVING IS NOT SO MUCH LOST TIME; AND YET THAT THE POET'S CALCULATION REMAINS OF PRACTICAL USE. _Questo medesimo anchora con una altra gagliardissima ragione vi confermo._ LODOVICO DOMINICHI.

I doubt not but some will liken me to the Lover in a modern Comedy, who was combing his peruke and setting his cravat before his mistress; and being asked by her when he intended to begin his court? he replied, he had been doing it all this while. DRYDEN. CHAPTER CLX.—p. 243. MENTION OF ONE FOR WHOM THE GERMANS WOULD COIN A DESIGNATION WHICH MIGHT BE TRANSLATED A ONCE-READER. MANY MINDS IN THE SAME MAN. A POET'S UNREASONABLE REQUEST. THE AUTHOR OFFERS GOOD ADVICE TO HIS READERS, AND ENFORCES IT BY AN EPISCOPAL OPINION. Judge not before Thou know mine intent; But read me throughout, And then say thy fill; As thou in opinion Art minded and bent, Whether it be Either good or ill. E. P. CHAPTER CLXI.—p. 249.
