1468. CONDORCET (M. J. A. N. C. de), Genius of.—

I am glad the bust of Condorcet
has been saved. His genius should be before
us; while the lamentable, but singular act of
ingratitude which tarnished his latter days, May
be thrown behind us.—
To William Short. Washington ed. vii, 141. Ford ed., x, 145.
(M. 1819)
