Burke, Edmund, 1729-1797

"The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 04 (of 12)"


FOOTNOTES:
[1] It is said in the last quackish address of the National Assembly to
the people of France, that they have not formed their arrangements upon
vulgar practice, but on a theory which cannot fail,--or something to
that effect.
[2] See Burnet's Life of Hale.
[3] The pillory (_carcan_) in England is generally made very high like
that raised to exposing the king of France.
[4] "Filiola tua te delectari laetor, et prohari tibi [Greek: Phusiken]
esse [Greek: ten pros ta tekna]: etenim, si haec non est, nulla potest
homini esse ad hominem naturae adjunctio: qua sublata, vitae societas
tollitur. Valete Patron [Rousseau] et tui condiscipuli [L'Assemblee
Nationale]"--Cic. Ep. ad Atticum.
[5] Mirabeau's speech concerning universal peace.
