6732. POLITICS, Estrangement from.—
I think it is Montaigne who has said that
ignorance is the softest pillow on which a
man can rest his head. I am sure it is
true as to everything political, and shall endeavor
to estrange myself to everything of
that character.—
To Edmund Randolph. Washington ed. iv, 101.
