Стр. 38 - Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless, too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors.

I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence...
Стр. 37 - Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest.
