"Afoot in England"
W.H. Hudson

"The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Exodus"
G. A. Chadwick
No State shall lay any imposts or duties which may interfere with any stipulations in treaties entered into by the United States, in Congress assembled, with any king, prince, or state, in pursuance of any treaties already proposed by Congress to the courts of France and Spain.
