Halaman 47 - The responsibility of Ministers : and with the exercise of these powers they could obtain, in future, whatever might be further necessary to improve and preserve their constitution. They thought otherwise, however, and events have proved their lamentable error.

Halaman 11 - I may bend to them in reverence ; tell me their names, that I may repeat them to my children. Teach me whence laws were introduced, upon what foundation laid, by what custody guarded, in what inner keep preserved. Let the books of the treasury lie closed as religiously as the Sibyl's ; leave weights and measures in the market-place, Commerce in the harbour, the Arts in the light they love, Philosophy in the shade : place History on her rightful throne, and, at the sides of her, Eloquence and War.
Halaman 32 - The older one becomes the more clearly one sees that King Hazard fashions three-fourths of the events in this miserable world.
Halaman 46 - It was well understood that the King would grant, at this time, 1. Freedom of the person by Habeas corpus : 2. Freedom of conscience : 3. Freedom of the press : 4. Trial by jury : 5. A representative Legislature : 6. Annual meetings : 7.
