More from John Morley
Turgot was one of the men to whom good government is a religion.
He was a soldier of infinite personal courage and daring; of striking military energy, initiative, and resource; a high, pure, and single character, dwelling much in the region of the unseen.
If the idea was the direct gift of heaven, the policy was due to the sagacity and mother-wit of the great ecclesiastical statesmen.
What I expect is a healthful, slow fermentation in many minds, working towards the final product.
