Сторінка 44 - the people had nothing to do with the laws but to obey them," and his sentiment was loudly applauded.
Сторінка 6 - I believe that our social edifice will continue to rest on its present basis, because no one, even if he wish to change its foundation, can point out another. But yet the state of public feeling disturbs me. The middle classes, cajoled and bribed for the last seventeen years by the Government, have gradually assumed towards the rest of the nation the position of a little aristocracy, and without its higher feelings; one feels ashamed of being led by such a vulgar and corrupt aristocracy; and if this...
Сторінка xxii - ... countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren ; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

" I am now forty-six," said Tocqueville, " and the changes which have taken place in the habits of society, as I faintly recollect my boyhood, seem to have required centuries. " The whole object of those among whom I was brought up, was to amuse, and be amused. Politics were never talked of, and I believe very little thought of.

Сторінка 77 - In the 18th century competition had begun: it had become difficult to be original by matter, so men tried to strike by style; to clearness and brevity, ornament was added — soberly and in good taste, but yet it betrayed labor and effort.
