Сторінка 123 - The speculating merchant must always be well acquainted with these, no less than with the real wants and customs of each nation.

I went through the various rooms where these operations were carried on, until I came at last to the great League Depot, where books, pamphlets, letters, newspapers, speeches, reports, tracts, and wafers, were all piled in neat packets of every possible size and appearance, like the packets of muslin and calico, in the great warehouses of Manchester.
Сторінка 131 - Swiss labourer, of the very same class, reads, studies nature, cultivates music, has a clean and tidy household, and gives his children an excellent education. This report, while it affords a startling testimony to the ignorance and brutality of the uneducated English, is also a proof, let it never be forgotten, of the admirable candour and generosity of the nation.
