Excerpt from Addresses of John HaySilas Deane sailed to France and soon set on foot very extensive business operations for the assistance of the colonies. With the aid of that strange mixture of charlatanry and genius, Caron de Beaumarchais, he sent a large quan tity of valuable stores to America, and a small quantity of worthless officers. He had the favor and the secret assistance of the court. The virtuous and far-seeing Turgot, who knew there was much to lose and little to gain by the American alliance, after protesting in vain against the Beaumarchais interest, had been dismissed the cabinet. The Comte de Vergennes assisted the colonies privately with one hand, and with the other dexterously stroked the right way the fur of the irritated British lion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
