الصفحة 47 - Young man, there is America — which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners; yet shall, before you taste of death, show itself equal to the whole of that commerce which now attracts the envy of the world.
الصفحة 74 - Finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion.
