# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLXI

​ⅭⅭⅬⅩⅠ. Abraham Baldwin in the House of Representatives.
November 10, 1791.
It had not been found practicable to ground representation in the Federal Constitution upon any other principle than that of numbers; but extent of territory is unquestionably one of the natural principles on which it rests, and should if possible be regarded.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLXIII

​ⅭⅭⅬⅩⅢ. Jonathan Dayton in the House of Representatives.
December 22, 1791.
Mr. Dayton also objected to the motion; he thought fourteen days would be a more proper time; it was the design of the Constitution, though it is not expressed, that the President should not know the characters to whom he is indebted for his election.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLIV

​ⅭⅭⅬⅣ. James Madison in the House of Representatives.
April 22, 1790.
One of my colleagues has asked a very proper question—If, as we have been told, the assumption originated in the Convention, why were not words inserted that would have incorporated and made the State debts part of the debts of the United States? Sir, if there was a majority who disapproved of the measure, certainly no argument can be drawn from this source; if there was a majority who approved of it, but thought it inexpedient to make it a part of the Constitution, they must have been restrained by a fear that it might produce dissensions and render the success of their plan doubtful. I do recollect that such a measure was proposed; and, if my memory does not deceive me, the very gentleman who now appeals to the Constitution in support of his argument, disrelished the measure at that time, and assigned for a reason, that it would administer relief perhaps exactly in proportion as the States had been deficient in making exertions.

* ↑ Gerry, see ⅭⅭⅬⅡ above.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLVI

​ⅭⅭⅬⅥ. Roger Sherman in the House of Representatives.
May 25, 1790.
It is objected that this is a new project—and not mentioned in the Constitution. The novelty of it is no just objection against adopting it—if the measure be just. It was mentioned in the general convention—but it was not thought necessary or proper to insert it in the Constitution, for Congress would have sufficient power to adopt it if they should judge it expedient.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLVIII

​ⅭⅭⅬⅧ. Elbridge Gerry in the House of Representatives.
February 7, 1791.
The gentleman from Virginia has endeavored to support his interpretation of the Constitution by the sense of the Federal Convention; but how is this to be obtained? By applying proper rules of interpretation? If so, the sense of the Convention is in favor of the bill; or are we to depend on the memory of the gentleman for a history of their debates, and from thence to collect their sense? This would be improper, because the memories of different gentlemen would probably vary, as they had already done, with respect to those facts; and if not, the opinions of the individual members who debated are not to be considered as the opinions of the ​Convention. Indeed, if they were, no motion was made in that Convention, and therefore none could be rejected for establishing a National Bank; and the measure which the gentleman has referred to was a proposition merely to enable Congress to erect commercial corporations, which was, and always ought to be, negatived.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLXII

​ⅭⅭⅬⅩⅡ. Elbridge Gerry in the House of Representatives.
November 21, 1791.
Mr. Gerry contended that the Constitution was misconstrued by the gentleman from North Carolina; and in reply to the gentleman from New Jersey, he said he was surprised to hear the remarks which he made, when he recollected his being a member of the Convention—in which, it must be remembered by that gentleman, the larger States consented to placing the small States on a par with them in the Senate, to obviate the difficulty which the smaller States objected against the larger representations from the larger States.
# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCLVII

​ⅭⅭⅬⅦ. James Madison in the House of Representatives.
February 2, 1791.
In making these remarks on the merits of the bill, he had reserved to himself the right to deny the authority of Congress to pass it. He had entertained this opinion from the date of the Constitution. His impression might, perhaps, be the stronger, because he well recollected that a power to grant charters of incorporation had been proposed in the General Convention and rejected.

# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 17/The Capon's Tale

While this work is included within The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift and is not attributed to anyone other than Jonathan Swift, it may have been written by another member of the Scriblerus Club. The club, which was founded in 1714, included Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, John Gay, John Arbuthnot, Henry St John, and Thomas Parnell.
THE CAPON'S TALE:
TO A LADY, WHO FATHERED HER LAMPOONS UPON HER ACQUAINTANCE.
IN Yorkshire dwelt a sober yeoman, Whose wife, a clean, painstaking woman, Fed num'rous poultry in her pens, And saw her cocks well serve her hens. A hen she had whose tuneful clocks Drew after her a train of cocks; With eyes so piercing, yet so pleasant, You would have sworn this hen a pheasant. All the plum'd beau monde round her gathers; Lord! what a brustling up of feathers! Morning from noon there was no knowing, There was such flutt'ring, chuckling, crowing: Each forward bird must thrust his head in, And not a cock but would be treading. Yet tender was this hen so fair. And hatch'd more chicks than she could rear. Our prudent dame bethought her then Of some dry nurse to save her hen: She made a capon drunk; in fine He eats the sops, she sipp'd the wine; ​His rump well pluck'd with nettles stings, And claps the brood beneath his wings. The feather'd dupe awakes content, O'erjoy'd to see what God had sent; Thinks he's the hen, clocks, keeps a pother, A foolish foster-father-mother. Such, lady Mary, are your tricks; But since you hatch, pray own your chicks.

While this work is included within The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift and is not attributed to anyone other than Jonathan Swift, it may have been written by another member of the Scriblerus Club. The club, which was founded in 1714, included Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, John Gay, John Arbuthnot, Henry St John, and Thomas Parnell.
THE ELEPHANT;
OR,
THE PARLIAMENT MAN.
WRITTEN MANY YEARS SINCE.
TAKEN FROM COKE'S INSTITUTES.
ERE bribes convince you whom to choose, The precepts of lord Coke peruse: And let like him your member be: First, take a man that's free from gall; For elephants have none at all: In flocks or parties he must keep; For elephants live just like sheep: Stubborn in honour he must be; For elephants ne'er bend the knee: Last, let his memory be sound, In which your elephant's profound; That old examples from the wise May prompt him in his Noes and Ies. ​Thus the lord Coke hath gravely writ, In all the form of lawyers wit; And then with Latin, and all that, Shows the comparison is pat. Yet in some points my lord is wrong: One's teeth are sold, and t'other's tongue: Now men of parliament, God knows, Are more like elephants of shows, Whose docile memory and sense Are turn'd to trick, to gather pence. To get their master half a crown, They spread their flag, or lay it down: Those who bore bulwarks on their backs, And guarded nations from attacks, Opening their trunk for every tester. Siam, for elephants so fam'd, Is not with England to be nam'd: Their elephants by men are sold; Ours sell themselves, and take the gold.

This work was probably written by Alexander Pope in imitation of Jonathan Swift. See The Works of Alexander Pope (1995). Wordsworth Edition Ltd. p.11.
THE
HAPPY LIFE
OF A
COUNTRY PARSON.
IN IMITATION OF MARTIAL.
PARSON, these things in thy possessing Are better than the bishop's blessing: A wife that makes conserves, a steed That carries double when there's need; October store, and best Virginia, Tithe pig, and mortuary guinea; Gazettes sent gratis down, and frank'd, For which thy patron's weekly thank 'd; A large Concordance, bound long since; Sermons to Charles the First, when prince; A chronicle of ancient standing; A Chrysostom, to smooth thy band in; The Polyglot, — three parts, — my text — Howbeit — likewise — now to my next — Lo here the Septuagint, — and Paul, — To sum the whole, — the close of all. He that has these, may pass his life, Drink with the 'squire, and kiss his wife; On Sundays preach, and eat his fill; And fast on Fridays, if he will; Toast church and queen, explain the news, Talk with churchwardens about pews, Pray heartily for some new gift, And shake his head at doctor Swift.

THE QUIDNUNCKIS:
A TALE OCCASIONED BY THE DEATH OF THE DUKE REGENT OF FRANCE.
HOW vain are mortal man's endeavours! (Said, at dame Elleot's, master Travers) Good Orleans dead! in truth 'tis hard: O! may all statesmen die prepar'd! I do foresee (and for foreseeing He equals any man in being) The army ne'er can be disbanded. — I wish the king were safely landed. Ah friends! great changes threat the land! All France and England at a stand! ​There's Meroweis — mark! strange work! And there's the czar, and there's the Turk — The pope —— an India merchant by Cut short the speech with this reply: All at a stand? you see great changes? Ah, sir! you never saw the Ganges: There dwells the nation of Quidnunckis (So Monomotapa calls monkeys:) On either bank, from bough to bough, They meet and chat (as we may now:) Whispers go round, they grin, they shrug: They bow, they snarl, they scratch, they hug; And, just as chance or whim provoke them, They either bite their friends, or stroke them. There have I seen some active prig, To show his parts, bestride a twig: Lord! how the chatt'ring tribe admire! Not that he's wiser, but he's higher: All long to try the vent'rous thing (For pow'r is but to have one's swing.) From side to side he springs, he spurns, And bangs his foes and friends by turns. Thus, as in giddy freaks he bounces, Crack goes the twig, and in he flounces! Down the swift stream the wretch is born; Never, ah never, to return! Z——ds! what a fall had our dear brother! "Morbleu!" cries one and "damme," t'other. The nation gives a gen'ral screech; None cocks his tail, none claws his breech; Each trembles for the publick weal, And for a while forgets to steal. A while all eyes, intent and steady, Pursue him whirling down the eddy: ​But, out of mind when out of view, Some other mounts the twig anew; And bus'ness, on each monkey shore, Runs the same track it ran before.

THE BALANCE OF EUROPE.
NOW Europe's balanc'd, neither side prevails; For nothing's left in either of the scales.
