Welcome to FR.
“Natural Born Citizen” is firmly planted in plain english in this edition.”
How do you know this? Have you seen the actual 1787 Edition? Reading it on a blog does not make it so.
We know there was manuscript of the 1797 English edition floating around years before the 97 edition was published. Cannot recall the translators name this minute.
I have seen the 1787 edition. No, there is no image of it online. If you are in the great D.C. metro area you can review the book with the assistance of the Library of Congress on your own time.
