Сторінка 363 - ... in many instances, to an extent not only sufficient for the supply of the families in which they are made, but for sale, and, even, in some cases, for exportation. It is computed in a number of districts that two-thirds, threefourths, and even four-fifths, of all the clothing of the inhabitants, are made by themselves.
Сторінка 653 - There is no part of the earth here to be taken up wherein there is not a reasonable quantity of gold or silver.
Сторінка 432 - Indeed, some few hides, with much ado, are tanned and made into servants' shoes; but at so careless a rate, that the planters don't care to buy them if they can get others; and sometimes, perhaps, a better manager than ordinary will vouchsafe to make a pair of breeches of a deer-skin.
Сторінка 560 - There's not a ship that sails the ocean, But every climate, every soil, Must bring its tribute, great or small, And help to build the wooden wall!
