what the enemy have been aiming to effect by every artifice and the grossest misrepresentations, I mean an opinion of our enmity towards them, and of the cruel treatment they experience when they fall into our hands; a prejudice which we on our part have heretofore thought it politic to suppress and to root out by every act of lenity and kindness."--Vol. III., page 18. "In no part of the war old Washington more thoroughly evince that magnanimity which was his grand characteristic, than in the last scenes of this campaign, (1777,) when he arose above the tauntings of the press, the sneering of the cabal, the murmurs of the public, the suggestions of some of his friends, and the throbbing impulse of his own courageous heart and adhered to that Fabian policy which he considered essential to the safety of the cause. To dare is often the impulse of selfish ambition, or harebrained valor; to forbear, is at times the proof of real greatness."--III. Vol. Washington's Life page 314.
