John Morley: “Its range, compass, and grasp are only matched by the simplicity and lucidity of his penetrating examination.”

Turgot was one of the men to whom good government is a religion.

No: not at all; because there is so much, I will not say of random variety, but there is so much independent use of mind upon the facts that we have to deal with, that I listen with endless edification and instruction.

But Turgot was one of those severe and scrupulous souls, to whom a wicked promise does not cease to be degrading by becoming hypocritical.

What I expect is a healthful, slow fermentation in many minds, working towards the final product.
