8646. UNGER (John Louis de), Invited to America.—

Should your fondness for philosophy
resume its merited ascendency, is it
impossible to hope that this unexplored country
may tempt your residence by holding out ma
terials wherewith to build a fame, founded on
the happiness and not the calamities of human
nature?—
To Lieutenant de Unger. Washington ed. i, 278. Ford ed., ii, 374.
