The Smallness Of Our Desires May Contribute Reasonably To Our Wealth.

Nothing Is So Well Calculated To Produce A Death-like Torpor In The Country As An Extended System Of Taxation And A Great National Debt.

Because They Shall Then Have An Influence Over The Conduct Of Those Members. And Of What Use Is That? Oh! Then They Will Prevent The Members From Doing Wrong.
