Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Devout Laugh: Or Half an Hour´s Amusement to a Citizen of London Doctor Pickering´s Sermon, preached before the right honourable the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, &c. of London, in the Cathedral of St. Paul´s January 30th 1749-50, I have received from you by the post. Very unluckily, upon the reading, I made a different application of the text: for I began to ask, how are the mighty fallen! and to imagine, that a base, degenerate, debauched sense of the most renowned city in the world was most glaring! - but I presently corrected my self, and charg´d the conception to the weakness of my judgment, and to the heat and fire of my own temper. What confirm´d me in this, was, a few days ago, I had found my intellects fail me in judging the conduct of the most learned University of Oxford, in the late affair of conferring doctorial degrees on Mr. Church, and Mr. Dodwell, for the merit of their remarks on Dr. Middleton.
