Stran 196 - that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.
Stran 93 - Penn came without arms ; he declared his purpose to abstain from violence; he had no message but peace; and not a drop of Quaker blood was ever shed by an Indian.
Stran 85 - The mother, if left alone in the house, feared the tomahawk for herself and children ; on the sudden attack, the husband would fly with one child, the wife with another, and, perhaps, one only- escape ; the village cavalcade, making its way to meeting...
Stran 331 - An Act to provide for the collection, safe-keeping, transfer and dis-bursement of the public revenue...
Stran 221 - Be it enacted, That all and every person and persons whatsoever, who shall hereafter teach or cause any slave or slaves to be taught to write, or shall use or employ any slave as a scribe in any manner of writing whatsoever hereafter taught to write, every such person or persons shall, for every such offence, forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds current money.
Stran 148 - I must declare and avow, that in all my reading and observation — and it has been my favorite study — I have read Thucydides and have studied and admired the master states of the world — that for solidity of reasoning, force of sagacity, and wisdom of conclusion, under such a complication of difficult circumstances, no nation or body of men can stand in preference to the general congress at Philadelphia.

Stran 46 - In duTerent heaps of sand they also found baskets of corn, a large quantity of which they carried away in a great kettle, found at the ruins of an Indian house. This providential discovery gave them seed for a future harvest, and preserved the infant colony from famine.
Stran 31 - did I not save thy life in America ? When I was torn from the arms of my father, and conducted amongst thy friends, didst thou not promise to be a father to me ? Didst thou not assure me, that, if I went into thy country, thou wouldst be my father, and that I should be thy daughter ? Thou hast deceived me ; and behold me now here, a stranger and an orphan.
