This man, these men, I see, and no law

    Wom 11.419 14 ...perhaps it is because these people [advocates of women' s rights] have been deprived of...opportunities, such as they wished...that they have been stung to say, It is too late for us...but, at least, we will see that the whole race of women shall not suffer as we have suffered.

    FRep 11.514 13 In our popular politics you may note that each aspirant who rises above the crowd...soon learns...that the only title to [the party's] permanent respect, and to a larger following, is to see for himself what is the real public interest, and to stand for that;...
