Stranica 24 - ... for admonition, and much for deep meditation, addressing itself to the wise and virtuous of all countries. It solves the question what government is best by the answer, illustrated in a thousand ways, that it is that which best promotes the substantial interests of the whole people of the nation upon which it acts. Such a work is peculiarly important in these times when so« many false theories are afloat and so many disturbing doctrines are promulgated.

The socks were exceedingly short, hardly covering my ankles, and so indeed were the pantaloons ; so that, when I was in a sitting position,...
Stranica 16 - I said I should like to borrow his History. He had but one copy, to which he had added notes, and which he did not wish, therefore, to lend out of his house; but he said he would get a copy for me. As to his other books, he gave me the key of his library to take whatever I liked. He laughed...
Stranica 15 - When I went the next morning at the appointed time, as I thought, Mr. Niebuhr met me on the stairs, being on the point of going out. He received me with kindness and affability, returned with me to his room, made me relate my whole story, and appeared much pleased that I could give him some information respecting Greece, which seemed to be not void of interest to him.
Stranica 42 - We belong to that race whose obvious task it is, among other proud and sacred tasks, to rear and spread civil liberty over vast regions in every part of the earth, on continent and isle. We belong to that tribe which alone has the word Self-Government.
Stranica 36 - ... Codifie. Bluntschli published as an appendix to his Code the whole of Lieber's Instructions for the Army. Dr. Lieber used to call this work his " old hundred." His pamphlet on Guerrilla Parties, considered with Reference to the Laws and Usages of War, written at the request of Major-General Halleck, was another important contribution to the cause of his country and to the law of war.
