Side 648 - Nichol; and I am sure you will believe me, when I tell you, that if you are to withdraw yourself, or rather not to suffer justice to...
Side 662 - Sir, that the great contests for freedom in this country were from the earliest times chiefly upon the question of taxing. Most of the contests in the ancient commonwealths turned primarily on the right of election of magistrates, or on the balance among the several orders of the state.
Side 180 - Miserere rise from all parts of the city; and immediately all was silent ; the sea had entirely overwhelmed it, and buried it for ever in its bosom : but the same wave that destroyed it, drove a little boat by the place where he stood, into which he threw himself and was saved.
Side 304 - ... sufficiently clear to settle our own demands, what part of the country was our own right, or what we determined to leave to the discretion of our neighbours ; or that, wholly intent upon settling the sea coast, we have never cast an eye into the country, to discover the necessity of making a barrier against them, with a proper force, which formerly did not need to have been a very great one, nor to be maintained at any great expense.

Side 474 - I wish after my death, to have my Defiance of the Judgments of those, who consider the dominion of the glorious Empire given by an incomprehensible dispensation of the Divine providence into our hands as nothing more than an opportunity of gratifying for the lowest of their purposes, the lowest of their passions — and that for such poor rewards, and for the most part, indirect and silly Bribes, as indicate even more the folly than the corruption of these infamous and contemptible wretches.
Side 481 - French ambassador taking precedence of all other ambassadors, and French spies and emissaries without number wearing the republican cockade and received with honors at all popular meetings, as the enlighteners of mankind, will require all the vigilance of government and the wisdom of parliament to prevent or check the natural consequences among the factious of our own country. Measures more and more vigorous may be necessary, and I should feel it my duty to vote for all, which did not go clearly...
Side 20 - Those who would carry on the great public schemes must be proof against the most fatiguing delays, the most mortifying disappointments, the most shocking insults, and worst of all the presumptuous judgment of the ignorant upon their designs.
