Under
an oil portrait of Benjamin Franklin, which was commissioned by the Prince de
Chaumon, is
an inscription, in French, which compares Benjamin Franklin to Jesus:
"Honor
of the New World and of Humanity,
This lovable
and true sage guides and enlightens them;
Like another
mentor, he conceals from the common eye,
Under the
features of a mortal, a divinity."
.
"The contest between arbitrary ["Rule of Law"] and constitutional government,
which had never ceased in England after King John signed the Magna Charta,
raged with unusual violence while the throne was occupied by the Stuarts."
