7494. REVOLUTION (American), Royal incendiarism.—

It is a lamentable circumstance,
that the only mediatory power, acknowledged
by both parties, instead of leading to a
reconciliation his divided people, should pursue
the incendiary purpose of still blowing up the
flames, as we find him constantly doing, in every
speech and public declaration.—
To Dr. William Small. Washington ed. i, 199. Ford ed., i, 454.
(May. 1775)
