summary:
  What hath puzzled our physicians, and prevented them from setting this matter in the clearest light, is possibly one simple mistake, arising from a very excusable ignorance; that the passions of men are capable of swallowing food as well as their appetites; that the former, in feeding, resemble the state of those animals who chew the cud; and therefore, such men, in some sense, may be said to prey on themselves, and as it were to devour their own entrails. The vanity of knowing more than other men is, perhaps, besides hunger, the only inducement to writing, at least to publishing, at all.

  An Apology for the Clergy_, which may perhaps be regarded as a set-off against the sarcasms of _Pasquin_ on priestcraft. Mr. _Luckless_, I kiss your Hands--Sir, I am your most obedient humble Servant; you see, Mr. _Luckless_, what Power you have over me.

summary:
  It was impossible not to ask who or what the wretched spirit was whom they treated in this barbarous manner; when, to our great surprize, we were informed that it was a king: we were likewise told that this manner of behaviour was usual among the spirits to those who drew the lots of emperors, kings, and other great men, not from envy or anger, but mere derision and contempt of earthly grandeur; that nothing was more common than for those who had drawn these great prizes (as to us they seemed) to exchange them with taylors and coblers; and that Alexander the Great and Diogenes had formerly done so; he that was afterwards Diogenes having originally fallen on the lot of Alexander. I was however soon cured of this opinion; for immediately after supper our discourse turned on the injustice which the generality of the world were guilty of in their conduct to great men, expecting that they should reward their private merit, without ever endeavouring to apply it to their use.

  Henry Fielding: a Memoir Including Newly Discovered Letters and Records with Illustrations from Contemporary Prints

summary:
  Jack call a coach; and d'ye hear, get up behind it and attend me, cries the improvident poet, the moment his generous friend has left him; and so we are sure did young Mr Fielding put himself and his laced coat into a coach, and mount his man behind it, whenever the exigencies of duns and hunger were for a moment abated. Katherine, Ursula and Sarah are now at school; and the said Mr Fielding doth give out in speeches that he will do with [the complainants] what he thinks fitt, and has openly commended the Manner of Education of young persons in Monasteryes.
