State your opinion as to the accuracy of the following observations: " “ ὤν non omitti potest post τυγχάνω.” "in dativo neque singulari neque plurali eliditur." 66 "BA et yλ syllabam præcedentem semper producunt." If twenty thousand naked Indians were not able to resist the assaults of but twenty well-arm'd Spaniards, I see but little possibility for one honest man to defend himself against twenty thousand knaves, who are all furnished cap-a-pce, with the defensive arms of worldly prudence, and the offensive too of craft and malice. He will find no less odds than this against him, if he have much to do in human affairs. The only advice therefore which I can give him, is, to be sure not to venture his person any longer in the open field, to retreat and entrench himself, to stop up all avenues, and break down all bridges against so numerous an enemy. The truth of it is, that a man in much business must either make himself a knave, or else the world will make him a fool; and if the injury went no farther than the being laugh'd at, a wise man would content himself with the revenge of retaliation; but the case is much worse, for these civil cannibals too, as well as the wild ones, not only dance about such a taken stranger, but at last devour him.

"Ille potens sui Lætusque deget, cui licet in diem Dixisse Vixi-” If, in the first formation of a civil society, the only care to be taken was that of establishing, once for all, the several duties which every individual owes to others and to the state ;-if those who are intrusted with the care of procuring the performance of these duties, had neither any ambition, nor any other private passions, which such employment might put in motion, and furnish the means of gratifying;—in a word, if, looking upon their function as a mere task of duty, they were never tempted to deviate from the intentions of those who had appointed them :-I confess, that, in such a case, there might be no inconvenience in allowing every individual to have a share in the government of the community of which he is a member; or rather, I ought to say, in such a society, and among such beings, there would be no occasion for any government. But experience teaches us, that many more precautions, indeed, are necessary to oblige men to be just towards each other; nay, the very first expedients that may be expected to conduce to such an end, supply the most fruitful source of the evils which are proposed to be prevented. Those laws which were intended to be equal for all, are soon warped to the private convenience of those who have been made the administrators of them: instituted at first for the protection of all, they soon are made only to defend the usurpations of a few; and, as the people continue to respect them, while those to whose guardianship they were intrusted make little account of them, they at length have no other effect than that of supplying the want of real strength in those few who have contrived to place themselves at the head of the community, and of rendering regular and free from danger the tyranny of the smaller number over the greater. To remedy, therefore, the evils which thus have a tendency to result from the very nature of things-to oblige those who are in a manner masters of the law to conform themselves to it-to render ineffectual the silent, powerful, and ever-active conspiracy of those who govern, requires a degree of knowledge, and a spirit of perseverance, which are not to be expected from the multitude.
