870. BONAPARTE (N.), Human Misery and.—

Bonaparte has been the author of
more misery and suffering to the world, than
any being who ever lived before him. After
destroying the liberties of his country, he has
exhausted all its resources, physical and moral,
to indulge his own maniac ambition, his
own tyrannical and overbearing spirit. His
sufferings cannot be too great.—
To Albert Gallatin. Washington ed. vi, 499.
(M. Oct. 1815)
