Seite 86 - ... the authority of law and the security of property were found to be compatible with a liberty of discussion and of individual action never before known ; how, from the auspicious union of order and freedom, sprang a prosperity of which the annals of human affairs had furnished no example ; how our country, from a state of ignominious vassalage...
Seite 86 - I greatly deceive myself, the general effect of this chequered narrative will be to excite thankfulness in all religious minds, and hope in the breasts of all patriots.

Here, says he, is the palace; there, says he, is the gate ; and he shows us what has been all our lives beneath our feet, without our having known anything about it. Wonderful! Wonderful !
