Strana 136 - They contain the true principles of the revolution of 1 800, for that was as real a revolution in the principles of our government as that of 1776 was in its form...
Strana 178 - An opinion is huddled up in conclave, perhaps by a majority of one, delivered as if unanimous, and with the silent acquiescence of lazy or timid associates, by a crafty chief judge, who sophisticates the law to his mind, by the turn of his own reasoning.
