Pàgina 300 - It is a mistake to think this fault is proper only to monarchies. Other forms of government are liable to it as well as that; for wherever the power that is put in any hands for the government of the people and the preservation of their properties is applied to other ends, and made use of to impoverish, harass, or subdue them to the arbitrary and irregular commands of those that have it, there it presently becomes tyranny, whether those that thus use it are one or many.

Pàgina 226 - Eudosia would content herself with her natural talents, play at cards, make tea and visits, talk to her dog often, and to her company but sometimes, she would not be ridiculous, but bear a very tolerable part in the polite world.
Pàgina 75 - Sense, praised it in the warmest terms, not only for its poetical beauties, but its political tendency, " the whole plan and purpose of it being to show the superiority of freedom over slavery ; and how much virtue, public spirit, and the love of liberty are preferable both in their nature and effects, to riches, luxury, and the insolence of power.
Pàgina 224 - ... they keep within the female province. I should be very sorry to offend, where I only mean to advise and reform ; I therefore hope the fair sex will pardon me, when I give ours the preference.
