y, and
all Scotland without exception.... And truly, sir,
if you had not lost the _Whig_ interest of
England, I should admire your dexterity in turning
the hearts of your enemies."--Let. 35.

"When I hear the undefined privileges of the
popular branch of the legislature exalted by
_tories_ and jacobites, at the expense of those
strict rights which are known to the subject and
limited by the laws, I can not but suspect that
some mischievous scheme is in agitation to destroy

"But where, say some, is the king of America? ...
So far as we approve of monarchy, in America _the
