Requested Joel Barlow citation
[edit]I searched for "priceless" in Barlow's works and found a passage that I have now placed at ludibrious (since it uses that word too); but is it the one? It also talks about "treasure", something that is valuable, so I'm not sure. Equinox ◑ 15:35, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- I've removed this request as I have also found only one citation among Barlow's works (in his voluminous Columbiad[1]), and the sense in this context seems very unlikely to be "of no value": "the priceless page" is clearly meant to parallel "the treasure of an age" in the following line.
