other the taking it is mentioned as implying criminality in the French
guards, who assisted in demolishing it. "They have not," says he,
"forgot the taking the king's castles at Paris." This is Mr. Burke, who
pretends to write on constitutional freedom.]

in England. From whence did this arise? A little observation will
explain the case. The principal, and the generality of the inhabitants

few years) withdrew from the persecution of the chartered towns, where
