Strana 50 - For woman is not undeveloped man, But diverse : could we make her as the man, Sweet love were slain : his dearest bond is this, Not like to like, but like in difference...
Strana 577 - That the rapid population of the state of Ohio sufficiently evinced in the opinion of your committee, that the labor of slaves is not necessary to promote the growth and settlement of colonies in that region. That this labor, demonstrably the dearest of any, can only be employed to advantage in the cultivation of products more valuable than any known to that quarter of the United States.
