That Washington, who never proved unequal to any task, however novel or arduous, could not have led that gigantic army into Russia I am slow to believe. I see not why he who did great things with small means is to be supposed to be incompetent to do great things with large means. That he would not, if it depended on him, have plunged France and Europe into that dreadful war, I readily grant.
