Strana 347 - I know also, that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.

Strana 345 - The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
