Reading edition
"The millenium was to usher in upon us as the irresistible consequence of the goodness of heart, integrity of mind, and correctness of disposition of Mr. Jefferson. All nations, even pirates and savages, were to be moved by the influence of his persuasive virtue and masterly skill in diplomacy." (Eaton's account of a call on President Jefferson, 1803, Life of the Late Gen. William Eaton: Prentiss, 263; also quoted in Adams: U.S. ii, 431.)
