He will then find, not only what a stupid dread of innovation, but what a savage spirit it has infused into the minds of many of his countrymen.
Seite 300 - Those who live in another country, contribute nothing by their consumption towards the support of the government of that country, in which is situated the source of their revenue. If in this latter country there should be no...
