     so often affirmed of the Laocoon -  that the knowledge developed <it> ^ in {it}must
     										      have
     taken a lifetime to accumulate ,  we should <not> yet ^ {scarcely} receive from that
     statue
     the same sensation of power. with which we are impressed by him who
     hurled the might prostration of the limbs of the Jonah along the <vault> {arch}
