Do we suppose these things can happen ? Or is it that we are indifferent whether they happen or not ; and that the morals of the country are no longer any object of our concern ?

Does the hope of bettering this condition, even in the minds of those most sanguine, so much outweigh the fear of injuring it, that these opposite chances can, upon the whole, be stated otherwise than as destroying each other ; and that of consequence, in the comparison of War and Peace, the prospect of increased industry and commerce, which in general tells so much in favour of Peace, must not here be struck...
Página 51 - ... what those securities were ; or when we ought to have taken up with such securities, if securities they can be called, as are offered by the present treaty. The great misfortune has been, that this question of Peace has never yet been fully and fairly before the country.

Whether...
