Страница 22 - This study renders men acute, inquisitive, dexterous, prompt in attack, ready in defence, full of resources.

Here they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle. They augur misgovernment at a distance ; and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze.
