The Hive: or A collection of thoughts on civil, moral, sentimental, and religious subjects [electronic resource] : selected from the writings of near one hundred of the best authors of different nations; but chiefly from the most celebrated English writers, who have been esteemed the most correct and elegant models of fine composition. Intended as a repository of sententious, ingenious, and pertinent sayings, in verse and prose, to which youth may have recourse upon any particular topic; and by which they may be taught to think justly, write correctly and elegantly, and speak wtih propriety.
