Strana 36 - Portugal in the discharge of a sacred obligation, contracted under ancient and modern treaties. When there nothing shall be done by us to enforce the establishment of the constitution ; but we must take care that nothing shall be done by others to prevent it from being fairly carried into effect. Internally, let the Portuguese settle their own affairs ; but with respect to external force, while Great Britain has an arm to raise, it must be raised against the efforts of any power that should attempt...
Strana 11 - JUSTUM et tenacem propositi virum Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instantis tyranni Mente quatit solida, neque Auster, Dux inquieti turbidus Adriae, 5 Nee fulminantis magna manus Jovis : Si fractus illabatur orbis, * Impavidum ferient ruinae.
Strana 37 - We go to Portugal in the discharge of a sacred obligation, contracted under ancient and modern treaties. When there, nothing shall be done by us to enforce the establishment of the Constitution; — but we must take care that nothing shall be done by others to prevent it from being fairly carried into effect...
Strana 37 - ... situation in which this country stands, our business is not to seek opportunities of displaying it, but to content ourselves with letting the professors of violent and exaggerated doctrines on both sides feel that it is not their interest to convert an umpire into an adversary. The situation of England, amidst the struggle of political opinions which agitates more or less sensibly different countries of the world, may be compared to that of the Ruler of the Winds, as described by the poet : "...
Strana 47 - In our own country, in like manner, the immortal Locke, under James II., was a student persecuted and silent; the world received no benefit from the labours of his thoughts.

Strana 47 - Government, his Reasonableness of Christianity, his Essay on Toleration, his Essay on the Human Mind, and contribute more, perhaps, than any individual who can be mentioned, to the best interests of his fellow-creatures, by contributing to remove obscurity from the mind, servility from the heart, and dogmatism from the understanding.
Strana 13 - ... severe labors of others [the distress in which others are plunged]. "When raging winds the ruffled deep deform, We look at distance and enjoy the storm ; Tossed on the waves with pleasure others see, Nor heed their danger, while ourselves are free." Secure ourselves, we too often view with indifference the dangers of others. Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re. Lat. — "We need men of experience, of firm and intelligent minds, who can blend the suaviter in modo in due proportion with...
Strana 45 - ... degradation, we subjoin the following lines on the Press by the late Rev. T. Greenwood, BA, Trinity College, Cambridge. We trust that time will develope more golden arrows from the same glorious quiver, which have long lain in repose since the gifted writer passed to God. " The Press ! the venerated Press ! Freedom's impenetrable shield ; The sword that wins her best success, The only sword that man should wield.
Strana 33 - No man was to be found base or desperate enough to pollute the air of that House, by uttering a word that could be construed into a justification of that abominable act of injustice. No volunteer assassin of public liberty, no greedy pander to the passions of those spoiled children of loyalty, who wield the sceptres of the world, dared within those walls to utter a sentence in its defence.
