411. APPROBATION BY THE VIRTUOUS.—

Sentiments of esteem from men of
worth, of reflection, and of pure attachment
to republican government, are my consolation
against the calumnies of which it has suited
certain writers to make me the object. Under
these I hope I shall never bend.—
To Harry Innes. Ford ed., vii, 383.
(M. 1799)
