Night Thoughts ... With notes ... by the Rev. C. E. de Coetlogon ... To which are added the author's poem on the Last Day, the paraphrase on part of the Book of Job [with other poems], and his life Quotes

“A Christian is the highest style of man.”

“Man makes a death which Nature never made. And feels a thousand deaths in fearing one.”

“There buds the promise of celestial worth.”

“Thoughts shut up want air, And spoil, like bales unopen'd to the sun.”

“Fond man! the vision of a moment made! Dream of a dream! and shadow of a shade!”

“Tis immortality, 'tis that alone, Amid life's pains, abasements, emptiness, The soul can comfort, elevate, and fill. That only, and that amply this performs.”
