Stran 257 - Our will and pleasure therefore is, that you prepare a bill for our royal signature, to pass our great seal...
Stran 243 - It occurred to me immediately, as a. principle for my conduct, that it was not material to me what ministers Her Majesty was pleased to employ ; my duty was to go along with every Ministry, so far as they did not break in upon the Constitution, and the laws and liberties of my country...
Stran 225 - I have employed myself, or been employed, in public in the world.

Stran 224 - To attain at the happy calm, which, as I say, is the safety of Britain, is the question which should now move us all; and he would merit to be called the nation's physician that could prescribe the specific for it. I think I may be allowed to say, a conquest of parties will never do it; a balance of parties may.
Stran 247 - I am immediately charged with being the author; and very often the first knowledge I have had of a book being published, has been from seeing myself abused for being the author of it, in some other pamphlet published in answer to it.
Stran 223 - I am not a great way off from, if not very near to, the great ocean of eternity, and the time may not be long ere I embark on the last voyage. Wherefore, I think I should even accounts with this world before I go...
