Thus it is that only success the existence, not only of gratification, but even desire of desire
itself, depends may depend upon a union with power. In France
Washington Franklin might have been no more than a Boat guide: in
the Anglo-American United States Bonaparte might have been a Washington
Washing in France, Washington might have been no more
than a Bonaparte. In the breast of Washington, he being
a man, it cannot have been but that the desire of depredation
and or oppression or both to be exercised in the large scale
must at times every now and then have had place, and been
more or less troublesome. Why? because the power of
affording to a greater or lesser extent gratification to such desire could not have
been wholly unaccompanied by hope. But, if by law the
greater number of those by whose suffrages Washington was
located in the situation which gave him the power of being what
he became, take any one at random, no such desires
probability of his having ever been actuated or even troubled by any such
desire will be found in his instance. Why? because in
his breast there cannot have been any hope of being gratifying
able to gratify it.
