No life-long fire insurance man could have phrased it more correctly." "I'm afraid it was mere plagiarism. I think Mr. Wilkinson used it." "Credit withdrawn," said Smith. "What were we talking about? Oh, yes about underwriters.
Such a work would require powers and erudition beyond what can be expected from any ordinary individual; the labour must be shared amongst numbers, and we are proud to assist in ascertaining the rightful property even of bulls and blunders; though without pretending, like some literary blood-hounds, to follow up a plagiarism, where common sagacity is at a fault.
Indeed, the same tale told by Richardson and by Sterne, altho they were contemporary sentimentalists, would have had so little in common that the careless reader might fail to see any similarity whatsoever; and probably even the pettiest of criticasters would feel no call to bring an accusation of plagiarism against either of them. Probably not a few readers of Prof.
"The character of Pinckney's genius," I rejoined, "is, I think, essentially like that of Praed, the last literary phase with me for I am geological in my poetry, and take it in strata.

Speak freely, for we priests That last was a direct plagiarism from a fakir by the Taksali Gate. 'We priests! Thou art not yet old enough to She checked the joke with another laugh.
The book seems to be merely a prosy detail of imaginary history, with the Old Testament for a model; followed by a tedious plagiarism of the New Testament. The author labored to give his words and phrases the quaint, old-fashioned sound and structure of our King James's translation of the Scriptures; and the result is a mongrel half modern glibness, and half ancient simplicity and gravity.
"In proportion to the culture of men they become his scholars." "How many great men Nature is incessantly sending up out of night to be his men! His contemporaries tax him with plagiarism. But the inventor only knows how to borrow. When we are praising Plato, it seems we are praising quotations from Solon and Sophron and Philolaus. Be it so.
