The revolution, ” said Mr Adams, “Took place int he minds of the people.”……….with sixty canon, ten tons of powder, 10,000 muskets and bayonets, lead, bed-covers, uniforms and a colonel, to affirm their neutrality…the Amphitrite
departed the tenth of March to her first destination…
and a fourth with orders the liquidation
and payment of what remains due to the Merchants of Morea

especially Hyder Ali
…pour l’exciter, et a tailler des croupieres to the Anglois…
peu delicat sur les moyens…to break up our bonds
with the Portagoose…and as for the Amphitrite, M’lorrd
she fits under Beaumarchais’ supervision, her cargo
mainly munitions….
Witnesses will some of them prove that he (Burr) had
no interest in the Ohio canal…
coram non judice
as usual where an opinion is to be supported right or wrong,
dwells on smaller objections and passes over the solid.
Oryzia mutica, the upland or mountain rice…
seed of perennial succory….very famous turnip of Sweden….
I pray you place me rectus in curia in this business
with the Emperor (Alexander) and to assure him That I carry into my retirement the highest veneration…for his dispositions to better at least in some degree the
condition of man oppressed…
If you return to us, to bring me a couple
of shepherd dogs, true-bred….much desired that war be
avoided.
type-founding to which antimony is essential, I therefore place
Mr Ronaldson in your hands.
…be avoided, if circumstances will admit…
for civilizing the indians, great improvement on the
ancient ineffectual…which began with religious ministrations.
The following has been successful. First, to raise cattle
whereby to acquire a sense of the value of property…
arithmetic to compute that value, thirdly writing, to
keep accounts, and here they begin to labour;
enclose farms, and the women to weave and spin…
fourth to read Aesop’s Fables, which are their first delight
along with Robinson Crusoe, Creeks, Cherokees, the latter
now instituting a government.
…and as many, just as respectable, swore to the contrary
all of whom present at the sermon…
…deem it necessary to keep them down by hard labour, poverty,
ignorance,
and to take from them, as from bees, so much of their earnings
as that unremitting labour shall be necessary to obtain a
sufficient surplus
barely to sustain a scant life, And these earnings
they apply to maintain their privileged orders in splendour and idleness
to fascinate the eyes of the people…as to an order of superior
beings…. June 12, ‘23 to Judge Johnson…
whether in a stye, stable or state-room,
let everything bend before them and banish whatever might

Judge Marshalll is irregular….
…animal is entirely without thought
if deprived of that organ…

Louis Sixteenth was a fool, the King of Naples a fool
they despatched two courriers weekly to tell each other, over a
thousand miles
what they had killed…the King of Sardinia

Portuguese Queen a Braganza and therfore by nature an idiot,
The succesor to Frederic of Prussia, a mere hog
in body and mind, Gustavus and Joseph of Austria
were as you know really crazy, and George 3d was in
a straight waistcoat,
there remained none but old Catherine, too lately picked
up……
by which we are in the constant practice of changing the
characters and propensities of the animals we raise for
our purposes….

The cannibals of Europe are eating one another again
