Strona 261 - Land to me seem paradise: for in mine eye 'twas Nature's Masterpiece; Her chiefest Magazine of all where lives her store: if this Land be not rich, then is the whole world poor.
Strona 392 - Amidst the storm they sang, And the stars heard and the sea ; And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rang To the anthem of the free.
Strona 336 - I wish most sincerely there was not a slave in the province ; it always appeared a most iniquitous scheme to me to fight ourselves for what we are daily robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have.
Strona 320 - ... infamous seminaries, I applied to the Court of Sessions, procured a committee of inspection and inquiry, reduced the number of licensed houses, etc. But I only acquired the reputation of a hypocrite and an ambitious demagogue by it. The number of licensed houses was soon reinstated ; drams, grog, and sotting were not diminished, and remain to this day as deplorable as ever. You may as well preach to the Indians as to our people.
