[01:43.58]No dependent territory has been left more prosperous.
[01:46.25]没有一块非独立的领土在归还时会比这儿更繁荣昌盛。
[01:48.93]None, with such a rich texture4 and fabric5 of civil society:

[01:55.54]professions, churches, newspapers, charities, civil servants of the highest probity6 and the most steadfast7 commitment to the public good.
