I Consider Biennial Elections As A Security

The House Is Composed Of Very Good Men, Not Shining, But Honest And Reasonably Well-informed, And In Time Will Be Found To Improve, And Not Much Inferior In Eloquence, Science, And Dignity, To The British Commons. They Are Patriotic Enough, And I Believe There Are More Stupid (as Well As More Shining) People In The Latter, In Proportion.

We Are Not To Consider Ourselves, While Here, As At Church Or School, To Listen To The Harangues Of Speculative Piety; We Are Here To Talk Of The Political Interests Committed To Our Charge.

We Are, Heart And Soul, Friends To The Freedom Of The Press...it Is A Precious Pest, And A Necessary Mischief, And There Would Be No Liberty Without It.

Why Then, If These New Books For Children Must Be Retained, As They Will Be, Should Not The Bible Regain The Place It Once Held As A School Book ?

No Man Can Be A Sound Lawyer In This Land Who Is Not Well Read In The Ethics Of Moses And The Virtues Of Jesus.
