Sivu 249 - To overrun them with the mercenary sons of rapine and plunder ; devoting them and their possessions to the rapacity of hireling cruelty ! If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my arms — never — never — never...
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.
