第 505 頁 - About ten o'clock I bade adieu to Mount Vernon, to private life, and to domestic felicity, and with a mind oppressed with more anxious and painful sensations than I have words to express, set out for New York, in company with Mr.
第 437 頁 - God of armies. May ample justice be done them here, and may the choicest of Heaven's favors, both here and hereafter, attend those, who, under the Divine auspices, have secured innumerable blessings for others.

第 447 頁 - At length, my dear Marquis, I have become a private citizen on the banks of the Potomac, and, under the shadow of my own vine and my own fig tree, free from the bustle of a camp, and the busy scenes of public life, I 'am solacing myself with those tranquil enjoyments, of 'which the soldier, who is ever in pursuit of fame— the statesman whose watchful days and sleepless nights are -spent in devising schemes to promote the welfare of his own, perhaps the ruin of other countries, as if this globe...
