Strana 106 - This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of INFIDEL powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce.

To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.
Strana 244 - From the evidence it would appear that the submergence took place at the end of the fourteenth or the beginning of the fifteenth century.
Strana 107 - We might have been a. free and a great people together; but a communication of grandeur and of freedom, it seems, is below their dignity. Be it so, since they will have it. The road to happiness and to glory is open to us too. We will tread it apart from them, and acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our eternal separation.
