Seite 157 - As to the Executive, it seemed to be admitted that no good one could be established on Republican principles. Was not this giving up the merits of the question: for can there be a good Government without a good Executive.
Seite 186 - For you know me well enough, my good sir, to be persuaded that I am not guilty of affectation, when I tell you it is my great and sole desire to live and die in peace and retirement on my own farm.

It is not, however, my design to dwell upon observations of this nature. I am well aware that it would be disingenuous...
