"As Whigs, they exulted over the demolition of the Bastile, and over the still more important downfal of systematic Tyranny. That Revolution has given a wholesome lesson to Tories, and a salutary lesson to Tyrants, in all the despotic Countries upon earth, by teaching them, that Men, by becoming Soldiers cease not to be Citizens; and that no length of oppression can ever eradicate from the human heart, the warm feelings of human nature, or the immutable Principles of natural Justice."
