2325. DUTY TO MANKIND.—[continued].
I have done for my
country, and for all mankind, all that I
could do, and I now resign my soul, without

B. L. Rayner, in his Life of Jefferson, says:

a hurried repetition, in indistinct and scarcely audible
accents, of his favorite ejaculation, Nunc Dimittis,
Domine—Nunc Dimittis, Domine.”—Editor.
