Nor was he one of the king's friends, nor did he seek advancement by unworthy flattery of the court. Burke, in his speech on American Taxation. A good lawyer, and trained in the best and most liberal political school of his day, it was ever his pride to be esteemed a sound Whig, I know that Mr. Grenville, as a sound whig, bore me no good will. Hume, in Burton's life of Hume. making the absolute supremacy of parliament the test of his consistency and the essential element of his creed; and he rose to eminence through the laborious gradations of public service, by a thorough knowledge of its constitution Edmund Burke. and an indefatigable attention to all its business.

on Reedy River, the frontier was marked as far as to an Oak on the top of the Mountains which rise over the sources of the Pacolet and the Broad; and thence it was agreed that it should run directly to Chiswell's Lead Mines on the New River branch of the Kanawha.

the mouth of New England divines, included civil and religious liberty, would rise and spread through the nations. Who will deny that the race has a life and progress of its own, swaying its complex mind by the guiding truths which it developes as it advances? While New England was drawing from the Bible proof of the nearness of the overthrow of tyranny, Turgot at Paris, explained to David Hume the perfectibility and onward movement of the race. Turgot to Hume, Paris, 3 July, 1768, in Burton's Hume, III. 163, 164. The British Government, said he, is very far from being an enlightened one. As yet Chap. XXXIV.} 1768.
