Manchester, 11. Jan. 1851.
_Couplet in De Foe_ (vol. ii., p. 310.).
"Restraint from ill is freedom to the wise,
And good men wicked liberties despise."
The couplet is altered from the following couplet in De Foe's _True Born
Englishman_:--
"Restraint from ill is freedom to the wise,
But Englishmen do all restraint despise."
