第 210 頁 - ... if the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.
第 210 頁 - Young men of the fairest promise, who begin life upon our shores, inflated by the mountain winds, shined upon by all the stars of God, find the earth below not in unison with these — but are hindered from action by the disgust which the principles on which business is managed inspire, and turn drudges, or die of disgust — some of them suicides.
第 91 頁 - That the selectmen of every town in the several precincts and quarters where they dwell, shall have a vigilant eye over their brethren and neighbors, to see, first, that none of them shall suffer so much barbarism in any of their families, as not to endeavor to teach by themselves or others, their children and apprentices so much learning, as may enable them perfectly to read the English tongue...
