From the Farewell Address, published September 19, 1796. The sheet carries the good-faith-and-justice counsel in full and the alliances sentence split large. Every word verbatim; nothing paraphrased. Washington never delivered it as a speech: it went straight to the printer, which makes it ours by trade.
