Strana 218 - I took a trip once with Penn to his colony of Pennsylvania. The laws there are contained in a small volume ; and are so extremely good, that there has been no alteration wanted in any one of them, ever since Sir William made them. — They have no lawyers.
Strana 96 - ... a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together...
Strana 167 - You are old,' said the youth, 'and your jaws are too weak For anything tougher than suet; Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak - Pray how did you manage to do it?
