George Gillespie Quotes

It Has Been Observed Of The Warring Turks, That Often They Used This Notable Deceit - To Send A Lying Rumor And A Vain Tumult Of War To One Place, But, In The Meanwhile, To Address Their True Forces To Another Place, That So They Might Surprise Those Who Have Been Unwarily Led By Pernicious Credulity.
