Sayfa 20 - ... than that of a simple cottage ; that these people should have no distinct rights with those of their Sovereigns, and can be assimilated like the cattle on a farm ; that Sovereignty is lost and acquired by the single fact of conquest ; that the nations of Europe are not united among themselves by any other moral ties than those which unite them to the islanders of the Australian Ocean, that they only live together by the pure law of Nature, and that what is called the public law of Europe does...

Sayfa 16 - It is impossible to say, who would have been able to have reasoned out that whole system, which we call natural Religion, in its genuine simplicity, clear of superstition: but there is certainly no ground to affirm that the generality could. If they could, there is no sort of probability that they would.
Sayfa 5 - You will notice in dogs this other trait, which is really marvellous in the creature. What is that ?
