From a literary weekly:—
"It is a terribly accurate saying about the loud laugh and the vacant mind—Pope never got down surer to the bare bones of the truth."
Nor did Goldsmith when he pointed out the danger of "a little learning."
From two consecutive items of "News in a Nutshell" in the North-Eastern Daily Gazette:—
"Lieut. ——, of an infantry regiment at Lemburg, Austria, fell fast asleep on February 14, and all efforts to wake him have proved futile ever since.
A sleeper weighing 8 cwt. was found on the Great Western Railway near Banbury just before the arrival of a train from the north."
However, it was not the lieutenant.
