Side 206 - William Preston, Robert Adams, junior, James Callaway, and Charles Lynch, and other faithful citizens, aided by detachments of volunteers from different parts of the state, did, by timely and effectual measures, suppress such conspiracy: And whereas the measures taken for that purpose may not be strictly...
Side 557 - It is so with physicians. I will not speak of my own trade, soldiers, English, Scotch, French, and the rest.
