oops; I missed it :”When the news of “these extraordinary proceedings” reached England, Prime Minister Horace Walpole said in Parliament, “Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson” (John Witherspoon, president of Princeton, signer of Declaration of Independence).”
Yep. Horace Walpole’s full quote was, “There no use crying about it — Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson, and that is the end of it.”
