Page 68 - The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible.
Page 198 - Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men ! 22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
Page 65 - It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period a great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.
