A new naval expedition was prepared in the Dutch port of Helvoetsluis, but it was impossible to persuade British public opinion that its real destination was San Domingo. Finally, on the eve of hostilities, in the spring of 1803 Napoleon, despairing of advance in this direction and disregarding the Spanish right of pre-emption, sold Louisiana to the United States for 80,000,000 francs.
I was beginning to comprehend the counsel of my Nashville friend on the ticklish point of pre-emption. "Why, you see, stranger as I told you, Hick Holt's a rough customer; an' I reckon he'll be an ugly one to deal wi', on a bisness o' that kind." "Of course, being in possession, he may purchase the land? He has the right of pre-emption?" "'Taint for that.
It is that empire, its claim to universal right of pre-emption to every zone and region washed by the waves and useful and necessary for the expansion of the white races, and its assertion of a right to control at will all the seas of all the world that drives the peoples of Europe into armed camps. The policy of the Boer War is being tried on a vaster scale against Europe.
To feed the oxen, the district administrators will take by pre-emption the necessary fields and pasturages, etc." This isolation of Paris, for which all the benefits of the Revolution are exclusively reserved. has the worst effect on the public mind." Schmidt, "Pariser Zustande," I., 224.
He is now awaiting a bid from the Papal government, which, I believe, has the right of pre-emption whenever any relics of ancient art are discovered. If the statue could but be smuggled out of Italy, it might command almost any price. There is not, I think, any name of a sculptor on the pedestal, as on that of the Venus de' Medici. A dolphin is sculptured on the pillar against which she leans.
The cattle, the lizards, and the hawks had pre-emption right. The question is not what we are to do with the lizards and summer insects, but what the lizards and summer insects are to do with us. If we want a place in this world we must earn it. The partridge makes its own nest before it occupies it.
