Herbert Spencer 1 refuted 2 citations

Oliver Goldsmith 1 neutral 1 refuted 2 citations · 6 passages
Goldsmith's Citizen of the World is quoted at length but its reasoning is explicitly criticized as feeble, deriving its persuasive force only from the sympathy of its audience.

- beside a chapter, the passages anchored there. A single citation can quote more than one passage, which is why a row carries two figures: the citations the harvest recorded, and the passages its chapters add up to.
Every count on this page is a link to the passages behind it. A name without a link is recorded but not yet paged. How the harvest reads.
