Washington refused to meet Talleyrand and shake his hand. first. because he was a refugee from France. and Washington was President of the United States. but that was not all. second. because Washington was an honest. sincere man. who hated the treachery of craft. who despised the perfidy of intrigue. and all honors boughi: with the loss of selfrespectthey never met. We love Washington and call him father. He was the admiring friend of Commodore Barry.
