Strona 246 - III.) to be of greater antiquity than any other nation ; and it is probable, that, born under the sun's path, its warmth may have ripened them earlier than other men. They suppose themselves also to be the inventors of divine worship, of festivals, of solemn assemblies, of sacrifices, and every other religious practice.
Strona 254 - In the Declaration of Rights, there is an inversion of ideas in the first article, liberty being placed before equality, from which it in reality springs. This defect is not to be wondered at ; the science of the rights of man is a new science : it was invented yesterday by the Americans, to-day the French are perfecting it, but there yet remains a great deal to be done.
