The gloom of the battle roared. - James Macpherson

With a genius truly poetical, he [Macpherson] was one of the first literary impostors in modern times.

Why is not the original deposited in some public library, instead of exhibiting attestations of its existence? Suppose there were a question in a court of justice, whether a man be dead or alive. You aver he is alive, and you bring fifty witnesses to swear it. I answer, 'Why do you not produce the man?'

Often does the memory of former times come, like the evening sun, on my soul.
