he is a fool who knows not that swords

Thus far for those eminent; but we
will produce little more evidence,
which, if it does not prove that we mods
erns, in England, have the right 10 re-
sisl oppression and tyranny, yet will
serve to show what the ancients thought
upon the subject, and how they acted
TO put an end 10 tyranny. This evidence
We have in work that was published
10 1902, and was. afterwards translated
into the French language tba. same
year, by M. Bouvet, who was employ
ed by the English Government on that
translation, for the purposei Of circuIa-
ting the work in France, hoping that
some Hero, some real Patriot might be
induced from reading 1t, to free that
country from the rule of Napoleon !!

Cicero tells Us that the Greeks at
tributed the honofs of Gods to those
who killed tyrants--they we're conse-
Grated 10 Immortality and almost dei6ed!
Solon's law decreed "deaih to ty-
rant who oppressed the State, and to all
those who held any Office under the
Government while the tyranny existed ,
Plato informs US that the Greeks, If
they could not eSpel a tyrant by accu-
sing him to the citizens, would des-
patch him by secret means.'
Xenophon tells US that the Greeks
would not let murderers enter their tenn
Piles; but, nevertheless, they world in
those very temples erect statutes in hon.
or of those *ho killed tyrants, thinking
them worthy Of being ranked among
their Gods.'
ln Rome the Nalerian law decreed
hat if amy man took mogistracy upon
himself, without the command of The
people, it was lawful for any one 10 kill
him.
Plutarch says that it was lawful, be-
lore any judgement passed, to kill any
one who but aspiied to tyranny
| BY the consular law it was lawful to
klll any man that went about to create
magistrates, without reference and
appeal 10 the people,
Polyblus says: "Those who conspite
against tyrarts are not the worst and
neanest of clizers, but the most gen
erous and those of the greatest virtue.
| Cicero speaking of the assassination
If julius CESOR, excIaims: "Whal

aal memory hath been done in the
world
Seneca esys. "a tyTant could receive
no injustice but to be allowed to- I've,
and that the most lawful way to desfnt
hum is The read'est, whether by f.tgss "a
