CHAPTER XVIII

________________

LIBERATION AND ANNEXATION: 1792–1793

Sir: The democratic government of France is said to have invented a new system of foreign politics, under the names of proselytism and fraternization. My present letter … will show that an internal interference with foreign states, and the annexation of dominion to dominion for purposes of aggrandizement are among the most inveterate and predominant principles of long established governments. These principles, therefore, only appear novel and odious in France because novel and despised persons there openly adopted them.

—BENJAMIN VAUGHAN TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE, LONDON, MAY 16, 1793
