Sivu 6 - Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence: the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise.
Sivu 13 - The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects too are, perhaps, always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur.

Sivu 239 - ... with the advice of our privy council, to issue this our royal proclamation, hereby...
Sivu 344 - ... that he who can read it without rapture may have merit as a reasoner, but must resign all pretensions to taste and sensibility. His imagination is in truth only too prolific : a world of itself, where he dwells in the midst of chimerical alarms, is the dupe of his own enchantments, and starts, like Prc-spero, at the spectres of his own creation.
