4666. LIBERTY, Blood and.—[continued].

A warm zealot for the
attainment and enjoyment by all mankind of
as much liberty, as each may exercise without
injury to the equal liberty of his fellow citizens.
I have lamented that in France the
endeavors to obtain this should have been attended
with the effusion of so much blood.—
To M. de Meunier. Ford ed., vii, 13.
