Sivu 264 - My lords, his majesty succeeded to an empire as great in extent as its reputation was unsullied. Shall we tarnish the lustre of this nation by an ignominious surrender of its rights and fairest possessions...

Sivu 249 - To overrun them with the mercenary sons of rapine and plunder ; devoting them and their possessions to the rapacity of hireling cruelty !

Sivu 281 - Washington that there could be little doubt of its success ; " but, sir," said he, " have you examined the consequences of it ? " " In what respect ?." asked the general.
