Stran 575 - Francis' tavern ; soon after which their beloved commander entered the room. His emotions were too strong to be concealed. Filling a glass, he turned to them and said, ' With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you ; I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable.
Stran 342 - ... every man who prefers freedom to a life of slavery, will bless and honor you, as men who have baffled the attempt of tyranny ; and by an impartial and uncorrupt verdict, have laid a noble foundation for securing to ourselves, our posterity, and our neighbors, that, to which nature and the laws of our country have given us a right — the liberty, both of exposing and opposing arbitrary power, in these parts of the world at least, by speaking and writing truth.

Stran 341 - I am truly very unequal to such an undertaking on many accounts. And you see I labor under the weight of many years, and am borne down with great infirmities of body; yet old and weak as I am, I should think it my duty, if required, to go to the utmost part of the land where my service could be of any use in assisting to quench the flame of prosecutions upon information, set on foot by the government, to deprive a people of the right of remonstrating (and complaining too) of the arbitrary attempts...
Stran 445 - College, the interest of which was to be applied to the support of an annual lecture.
Stran 342 - But to conclude; the question before the Court and you gentlemen of the jury is not of small nor private concern, it is not the cause of a poor printer, nor of New York alone, which you are now trying: No!
