Dear Flaxman,
L21.1Flaxman10'01; E717|
I rejoice to hear that your Great Work is accomplish'd.

Peace opens the way to greater still, The Kingdoms of this World
L21.1Flaxman10'01; E717|
are now become the Kingdoms of God & his Christ, & we shall reign
L21.1Flaxman10'01; E717|
with him for ever & ever. The Reign of Literature & the Arts
L21.1Flaxman10'01; E717|
Commences. Blessed are those who are found
L21.1Flaxman10'01; E718|
studious of Literature & Humane & polite accomplishments. Such
L21.1Flaxman10'01; E718|
have their lamps burning & such shall shine as the stars.

Mr Thomas, your friend to whom you was so kind as to make
L21.2Flaxman10'01; E718|
honourable mention of me, has been at Felpham & did me the favor

Now I hope to see the Great Works of Art, as they are so
L21.3Flaxman10'01; E718|
near to Felpham, Paris being scarce further off than London. But
L21.3Flaxman10'01; E718|
I hope that France & England will henceforth be as One Country
L21.3Flaxman10'01; E718|
and their Arts One, & that you will Ere long be erecting
L21.3Flaxman10'01; E718|
Monuments In Paris--Emblems of Peace.
