Knox informs Reverend Morse that "Mr. Volney when in Boston in the spring of 97 himself gratified at the progress of the spirit of the french revolution." Knox quotes Volney as saying, '"'England said he will be revolutionized, the same spirit will run through Italy and all the German states and indeed throughout all the enlightened part of Europe." Knox continues to say that Volney insisted, then, Europe "will put christianity behind their back."
