separate three cities . Unquestionably in imitation of these cities , the heathen had their asyla , and the Roman Catholics their privileged altars , and similar traditions seem to obtain in many barbarous nations , for "the North American Indian nations have most of them either a house or town of refuge , which is a sure asylum to protect a manslayer , or the unfortunate captive , if he once enter it. In almost every Indian nation , there are several towns , which are called old beloved , ancient , holy , or white towns . white being their fixed emblem of peace , friendship , prosperity , happiness , purity , etc.. They seem to have been formerly towns of refuge; for it is not in the memory of the oldest people that human blood was shed in them."

shalt not remove . Before the extensive use of fences , landed property was marked out by stones or posts , set up so as to ascertain the divisions of family estates. It was easy to remove one of these landmarks , and set it in a different place; and thus a dishonest man might enlarge his own estate by contracting that of his neighbour. Hence it was a matter of considerable importance to prevent this crime among the Israelites; among whom , removing them would be equivalent to forging , altering , destroying , or concealing the title-deeds of an estate among us. Accordingly , by the Mosaic law , it was not only prohibited in the commandment against covetousness , but we find a particular curse expressly annexed to it in Deuteronomy 27 . 17. Josephus considers this law a general prohibition , intended not only to protect private property , but also to preserve the boundaries of kingdoms and countries inviolable.
