780. BARLOW (Joel), Works of.—

I
thank you for your “Conspiracy of Kings”
and advice to the privileged orders. Be assured
that your endeavours to bring the transAtlantic
world into the road of reason, are not
without their effect in America. Some here
are disposed to move retrograde, and to take
their stand in the rear of Europe, now advancing
to the high ground of natural right.—
To Joel Barlow. Washington ed. iii, 451. Ford ed., vi, 88.
