Страница 80 - Fair laughs the Morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly riding o'er the azure realm In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes: Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm: Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway, That hush'd in grim repose expects his evening prey.
Страница 144 - Rather let prudence and temper come first from this side. I will undertake for America that she will follow the example.
Страница 139 - Taxation is no part of the governing or legislative power. The taxes are a voluntary gift and grant of the Commons alone.
Страница 272 - Has the repeal of the stamp act taught the Americans obedience ? Has our lenity inspired them with moderation ?

Страница 127 - I claim to know more of America than most of you, having seen and been conversant in that country. The people, I believe, are as truly loyal as any subjects the king has ; but a people jealous of their liberties, and who will vindicate them, if ever they should be violated. But the subject is too delicate ; I will say no more.
Страница 140 - The commons of America, represented in their several assemblies, have ever been in possession of the exercise of this, their constitutional right, of giving and granting their own money. They would have been slaves if they had not enjoyed it.
Страница 347 - That all acquisitions, made under the influence of a military force, or by treaty with foreign Princes, do of right belong to the state; 2.
