Gentlemen have talked a great deal of patriotism. A venerable word, when duly practiced.

[Read] anything but history,.. for history must be false.

IT has been observed by several gentlemen, in vindication of this motion, that if it should be carried, neither my life, liberty, nor estate will be affected.
