6292. ORATORY, Modern and Ancient.—

The short, the nervous, the unanswerable
speech of Carnot, in 1803, on the proposition
to declare Bonapatte consul for life,—this creed
of republicanism should be well translated, and
placed in the hands and heart of every friend
to the rights of self-government.—
To Abraham Small. Washington ed. vi, 347.
(M. 1814)
