Strana ii - Congress of the United States, entitled, "An Act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of Maps, Charts, and Books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned."

Strana lxviii - that the king is the universal lord and original proprietor of all the lands in his kingdom, and that no man doth or can possess any part of it, but what has mediately or immediately been derived as a gift from him, to be held upon feudal services.
Strana clxvi - The Americans have not acted in all things with prudence and temper ; they have been wronged ; they have been driven to madness, by injustice. Will you punish them for the madness you have occasioned ? Rather let prudence and temper come first from this side.
Strana xcviii - No sea but what is vexed by their fisheries. No climate that is not witness to their toils. Neither the perseverance of Holland, nor the activity of France, nor the dexterous and firm sagacity of English enterprise, ever carried this most perilous mode of hardy industry to the extent, to which it has been pushed by this recent people ; a people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.

Strana lxxi - America was conquered, and her setdements made and firmly established, at the expense of individuals, and not of the British public. Their own blood was spilt in acquiring lands for their setdement, their own fortunes expended in making that setdement effectual. For themselves they fought, for themselves they conquered, and for themselves alone they have right to hold.
Strana 11 - I forbear, and come reluctantly to the transactions of that dismal night, when in such quick succession we felt the extremes of grief, astonishment and rage; when Heaven in anger, for a dreadful moment, suffered hell to take the reins ; when Satan with his chosen band opened the sluices of New England's blood, and sacrilegiously polluted our land with the dead bodies of her guiltless sons ! Let this sad tale of death never be told without a tear: let not the heaving bosom cease to burn with a manly...
Strana 12 - But if the laboring earth doth not expand her jaws ; if the air you breathe is not commissioned to be the minister of death; yet, hear it and tremble ! The eye of heaven penetrates the darkest chambers of the soul, traces the leading...
