Seite 243 - That the influence of the Crown has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished"?
Seite 432 - It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then the dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision.
