Страница 166 - I must do it justice ; it was a complete system, full of coherence and consistency ; well digested, and well com-, posed in all its parts. It was a machine of wise and elaborate contrivance ; and as well fitted for the oppression, impoverishment, and degradation of a people, and the debasement, in them, of human nature itself, as ever proceeded from the perverted ingenuity of man.
