Strana 238 - He has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and Payment of their salaries. He has...

Strana 114 - What pity LYCURGUS did not think of paper-credit, when he wanted to banish gold and silver from SPARTA !
