Стр. 205 - But there is no parallel in all the records of the world to the case of that prolific British mother, who has sent forth her innumerable children over all the earth to be the founders of half a dozen empires.

Last of all, it is not to be denied that in what I have been saying, I do not represent the public sentiment. The nation is not...
