Pagina 95 - I doubt not but all ingenuous and knowing men will easily agree with me that a free commonwealth without single person or House of Lords is by far the best government, if it can be had; but we have all this while, say they, been expecting it, and cannot yet attain it.
Pagina 116 - How poor, how rich, how abject, how august, How complicate, how wonderful, is man!
