Nearly all Indians own some land, either individually or in common; and while it may generally be leased by those who are either unable or for good reasons do not desire to work it themselves, this is done under such troublesome restrictions and conditions that it is, as a general rule, better for the owner to live on and utilize ...

Many of the suggestions given concerning other designs upon previous pages will apply to these two designs, which fact leaves little to suggest for them individually.

So that the central authority of kings was merely nominal; their power extended scarcely beyond the lands they individually controlled.

The kings of England seem to have centralized around their thrones more power than other European monarchs until the time of the Crusades, when they were checked, ...

Because, however, in the science of Morals, we consider things individually—for actions are concerned about individuals—that which is good on some supposition, should be considered as good: just as that which is voluntary on some supposition, is judged to be voluntary, as stated in Ethic. iii, 1, and likewise ...

But to Robinson Crusoe he represented ...
