4271. KINGS, Lessons from.—
If anybody
thinks that kings, nobles, or priests are good conservators of the public happiness,
send them here[France]. It is the best
school in the universe to cure them of that
folly. They will see with their own eyes that
these descriptions of men are an abandoned
confederacy against the happiness of the mass
of the people.—
To George Wythe. Washington ed. ii, 7.
