Yet we see in the two latter cases that new combinations of principle have been discovered...
Seite 14 - ... embrace, must convince the world that it is the greatest improvement on the mechanism of government that has ever been discovered, the most consoling to the friends of liberty, humanity, and peace. Men who have grown old in the intrigues of cabinets, and those who, in the frensy of youthful ambition, present themselves on the theatre of politics, at the head of armies, which they cannot live without, are telling us that ' no new principle of government has been discovered for these two thousand...
