第 11 頁 - For there are in nature certain fountains of justice, whence all civil laws are derived but as streams: and like as waters do take tinctures and tastes from the soils through which they run, so do civil laws vary according to the regions \ 7 and governments where they are planted, though they proceed from the same fountains.
第 20 頁 - Truth is its handmaid, freedom is its child, peace is its companion, safety walks in its steps, victory follows in its train ; it is the brightest emanation from the Gospel, it is the greatest attribute of God.
第 40 頁 - to do what he will with his own," without being questioned by his subjects.
第 53 頁 - ... in passing through the minds of millions. Those who admire and love knowledge for its own sake ought to wish to see its elements made accessible to all, were it only that they may be the more thoroughly examined into, and more effectually developed in their consequences, and receive that ductility and plastic quality which the pressure of minds of all descriptions, constantly moulding them to their purposes, can alone bestow.
第 10 頁 - These two great institutions convert the selfish as well as the social passions of our nature into the firmest bands of a peaceable and orderly intercourse ; they change the sources of discord into principles of quiet ; they discipline the most ungovernable, they refine the grossest, and they exalt the most sordid propensities ; so that they become the perpetual fountain of all that strengthens, and preserves, and adorns society: they sustain the individual, and they perpetuate the race.
第 21 頁 - There is not, in my opinion, in the whole compass of human affairs so noble a spectacle as that which is displayed in the progress of jurisprudence; where we may contemplate the cautious and unwearied exertions of wise men through a long course of ages, withdrawing every case, as it arises, from the dangerous power of discretion and subjecting it to inflexible rules, extending the dominion of justice and reason, and gradually contracting within the narrowest possible limits...
第 48 頁 - It is not true," declares Dr. Chalmers with his wonted earnestness, " that, in virtue of elegance, and luxury, and leisure being the inheritance of a few, there is not a blessing in the present system of things to the whole mass of society. Under the opposite system, there would be nearly one unbroken level, the whole of which behoved, in time, to be as sunk and degraded as is the state of our present laborers. Now, it is a level rising into frequent eminences of greater or less height [a very remarkable...
第 27 頁 - The matter changeth, the custom, the contracts, the commerce, the dispositions, educations, and tempers of men and societies, change in a long tract of time, and so must their laws in some measure be changed, or they will not be useful for their state and condition ; and besides all this, time is the wisest thing under heaven.
第 57 頁 - They have withstood the allurement of pleasure, which is the first and most common cause of failure ; they have disdained the little arts and meannesses which carry base men a certain way, and no further ; they have sternly rejected also the sudden means of growing basely rich, and dishonourably great, with which every man is at one time or another sure to be assailed ; and then they have broken out into light and glory at the last, exhibiting to mankind the splendid spectacle of great talents long...
第 20 頁 - God ; it is that centre, round which human motives and passions turn ; and Justice, sitting on high, sees genius and power, and wealth and birth, revolving round her throne ; and teaches their paths, and marks out their orbits, and warns with a loud voice, and rules with a strong arm, and carries order and discipline into a world, which, but for her, would be only a wide waste of passions.'—Rev.
