God grant that in my day, at least, that curtain may not rise. God grant that, on my vision, never may be opened what lies behind.
Page 69 - the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States...
Page 254 - ... African was in violation of the laws of nature ; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with ; but the general opinion of the men of that day was, that, somehow or other, in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. This idea, though not incorporated in the Constitution, was the prevailing idea at the time.
Page 322 - NY, and when it became the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western District of New York in 1813 he was appointed as its president.
