5952. NEWSPAPERS, Indifference to.—

A truth now and then projecting into the
ocean of newspaper lies, serves like headlands
to correct our course. Indeed, my
scepticism as to everything I see in a newspaper,
makes me indifferent whether I ever
see one.—
To James Monroe. Washington ed. vi, 407. Ford ed., ix, 496.
(M. 1815)
