Note 78 — MR. BURKE. ON MOVING RESOLUTIONS FOR CONCILIATION WITH AMERICA. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 22, 1775. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Note 78, p. 291.—Milton’s Paradise Lost, iv., 106. This also is a misquotation:—retract should be recant. Burke seldom took the trouble to verify his quotations, but relied upon a powerful, though slightly fallible, memory.
