So liberal were the white people of this town that colored children were sent to school there with white boys and girls who seemed to raise no objection.

But shortly afterward a crisis arose which, more than the debates on the commercial propositions, or on the Volunteers, or on the police, showed how over-liberal had been the confidence of the English minister who had repealed Poynings' Act, and had bestowed independent authority on the Irish Parliament before the members had learned how to use it.

I was glad to find that Mr. Gronovius entertained views more liberal than Dutchmen generally do.
