3500. GOVERNMENT, Experiments in.—

This I hope will be the age of experiments
in government, and that their basis will be
founded in principles of honesty, not of mere
force. We have seen no instance of this since
the days of the Roman Republic, nor do we
read of any before that.—
To John Adams. Ford ed., vii, 56.
(M. 1796)
