We make no wars to promote or to prevent successions to thrones, to maintain any theory of a balance of power, or to suppress the actual government which any country chooses to establish for itself.

For years they had been constantly making such purchases, either through the colonists at Rensselaerswyck, or from private traders.

The Egyptian court, long informed of the disaster at Pharsalus, was on the point of refusing to receive Pompeius; but the king's tutor Theodotus pointed out that, in that case Pompeius would probably employ his connections in the Egyptian army to instigate rebellion; and that it would be safer, and also preferable with regard to Caesar, if they embraced the opportunity of making away with Pompeius.

I was first accused of having endeavoured to instigate to mutiny and revolt the slaves of the plantation Besancon, by having interfered to prevent one of their number from receiving his just punishment! Secondly, I had caused another of these to strike down his overseer; and afterwards had induced him to run away to the woods, and aided him in so doing!
Indeed, no explanation has ever been given as to why they took up the cause of Rugoba, the scoundrel who grasped the crown; and who was privy to, if he did not instigate, the murder of his nephew, the young Peishwa. "He was not unopposed, for Nana Furnuwees and Hurry Punt, two of the leading Mahratta ministers, formed a regency under Gunga Bye, the widow of the murdered Peishwa.
"Excellent!" and von Fincke beamed with pleasure. "I shall instigate strikes in the munitions factories," continued Hartzmann. "Tell me, how have you succeeded with the passports?" Von Fincke's expression changed. "Not so well as I hoped. The Secret Service are active in investigating all that are issued. It is difficult to circulate them under such espionage." "It is risky," agreed Hartzmann.
Before I could address him, he exclaimed, with evident and extreme agitation, "You cannot, Morton, you cannot you dare not insinuate that I, your brother, have been base enough to forge, or to instigate the forgery of, this will?" Gerald's agitation made me still less doubtful of his guilt.
