The Freedom of the Seas (Mare Liberum)
The English, cited as having forcibly resisted Portuguese exclusion from navigation and trade.
Even the French and English made their way to those newly discovered places not secretly, but by force of arms.
Therefore in order to establish a prescriptive right to the trade with the East Indies the Portuguese would be compelled to prove coercion.

Lectures on the Early History of Institutions
The English, whose common law of distress and colonial statutes are compared with, and imposed on, the Irish.
The Irish used the remedy of distress because they knew no other remedy, and the English made it a capital felony in an Irishman to follow the only law with which he was acquainted.
Among these may be placed the impounding, and the ‘taking in withernam,’ but the great resemblance of all, and the common point of dissimilarity from the most ancient of the Leges Barbarorum, lies in the fact that the Irish procedure, like the English, requires neither assistance nor permission from any Court of Justice.
But some of the institutions which the Romans and Hindoos once had in common may be seen actually flourishing in India, under the protection of English Courts of Justice.
An Essay on Crimes and Punishments
The English nation, cited as an example of a country whose laws are excellent partly through disuse of torture.
They are known to the English, a nation in which the progress of science, superiority in commerce, riches and power, its natural consequences, together with the numerous examples of virtue and courage, leave no doubt of the excellence of its laws.
Construction Construed and Constitutions Vindicated
The English nation, referenced for its historical monopoly of colonial trade, analogized to the effects of bank currency.
It would be a subject worthy of mature consideration, whether a bank currency, such as we are suffering under, does not bear a strong analogy in its effects, to the monopoly of the colonial trade long held by the English, and which we supposed we had happily abolished by a long war.
Ansāb al-ʻArab al-qudamāʼ
The nation whose language furnishes the decisive counter-examples — Motherland, Cousin from Consobrinus, Uncle from Avunculus — showing that maternal etymologies prove nothing about descent systems.
The English say Motherland, meaning by it the homeland of both parents, although the word requires that it be the homeland of the mother alone.
Conversely the word Nephew in English cannot be expressed in Arabic save by two words, ibn al-akh or ibn al-ukht, and likewise Niece, bint al-akh or bint al-ukht — and the denoting by each of these two words of the children of the brother and of the sister together might be taken by the holders of the view of mother-right among the proofs of it!
More than one of the scholars of society among the Germans, the French, the English, the Russians and others have written upon mother-right and the ordering of the family — such as Bagehot, Dargun, Amira, Wilken, Starcke, Bride, Giraud, Smith, Westermarck and others, whose enumeration would be long for us;
