Страница 11 - Also fragen wir bestandig, Bis man uns mit einer Handvoll Erde endlich stopft die Mauler — Aber ist das eine Antwort?
Страница 27 - The great and chief end, therefore, of men's uniting into commonwealths and putting themselves under government is the preservation of their property.
Страница 30 - From the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results ; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties.
Страница 20 - Now in all states there are three elements: one class is very rich, another very poor, and a third in a mean.
