2760. ETHICS, System of.—
I have but
one system of ethics for men and for nations,—to be grateful, to be faithful to all engagements
and under all circumstances, to
be open and generous, promoting in the long
run even the interests of both; and I am
sure it promotes their happiness.—
To La Duchesse D'Auville. Washington ed. iii, 135.
