557. ARMY, (French), Dangerous standing.—
The French flatter themselves
they shall form a better Constitution than the
English one. I think it will be better in some
points—worse in others. * * * It will
be worse, as their situation obliges them to
keep up the dangerous machine of a standing
army.—
To Dr. Price. Washington ed. ii, 557.
