Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden quotes

Taxation and representation are inseparable... whatever is a man's own, is absolutely his own; no man has a right to take it from him without his consent, either expressed by himself or representative; whoever attempts to do it, attempts an injury; whoever does it, commits a robbery; he throws down and destroys the distinction between liberty and slavery. (Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden)
A good corroborating chain, if they fail in the last link, the whole will fall to the ground. View quote
Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden
Gentlemen, I speak for myself as well as for you: I never read anything about what may come before me in a Court of Justice; I keep my mind free from everything of the kind. There is often a necessity for me to look into the law: but I never suffer my mind to be biassed by reports, or such papers or pamphlets as are written with a view to pervert justice. View quote
