Сторінка 481 - The tax which each individual is bound to pay ought to be certain, and not arbitrary. The time of payment, the manner of payment, the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the contributor, and to every other person.
Сторінка 571 - Letting alone, in short, should be the general practice: every departure from it, unless required by some great good, is a certain evil.
