Стр. 140 - The question with me is, not whether you have a right to render your people miserable, but whether it is not your interest to make them happy.
Стр. 107 - ... of such province or colony, and disposable by Parliament,) and shall engage to make provision also for the support of the civil government and the administration of justice in such province or colony, it will be proper, if such proposal shall be approved by his Majesty...
