Pàgina 85 - I thank God, there are no free schools nor printing, and I hope we shall not have these hundred years; for learning has brought disobedience, and heresy, and sects into the world, and printing has divulged them, and libels against the best government. God keep us from both!

Pàgina 89 - The State of South Carolina appropriates annually the sum of $75,000 to free Schools. Gov.
