Page 220 - Those arguments that are made, that the inferior race are to be treated with as much allowance as they are capable of enjoying ; that as much is to be done for them as their condition will allow. What are these arguments ? They are the arguments that kings have made for enslaving the people in all ages of the world.
Page 394 - Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship.
