Astrea. in This aggregate cannot in any part
of it find to be a means to an end: For if the To the
truth of the proposition, you can not any one of you, my
disciples, fail to be sensible. For by which of you all was a
command ever given, that how so ever the object had

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, of the community
composed of Britain and Irishmen: as a Member of the community
