2632. ENGLAND, Flagitious government.—

The regeneration of the British government
will take a longer time than I have
to live. * * * I shall make my exit with
a bow to it, as the most flagitious of governments
I leave among men.—
To William Duane. Washington ed. vi, 77. Ford ed., ix, 367.
(M. Aug. 1812)
