8835. VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION, Bill of rights.—

The fact is unquestionable
that the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution
of Virginia, were originally drawn by George
Mason, one of our really great men, and of
the first order of greatness.—
To Augustus B. Woodward. Washington ed. vii, 405. Ford ed., x, 341.
