	Essay on History by Arthur Lee Jacobson
		If history has a drawback, it may be that the more we learn and reflect, the less we are content with things going on now -- the more we want to, or feel compelled to, try improving matters.
		I often think my greatest good to society is not as a plant expert, but would be as a broad-minded governmental diplomat or officer.
		We need to place in positions of authority people who are best provided, through nature and education, to make prudent decisions.

	Silas Deane Online
		Among his enemies was his fellow diplomat in Paris, Arthur Lee, who through the powerful Lee family member had convinced many members of Congress that the supplies from France had been a gift of the French while Silas said they were given as a loan that had to be repaid.
		Arthur Lee was eventually recalled himself but Silas Deane was completely ruined through non-action by the Congress on his behalf.
		It is generally accepted as fact by historians that the root of all of his troubles stemmed from the fact that Arthur Lee, of the powerful Lee family of Virginia, who had signed the French treaties with Deane, disliked Deane enough to cause him all his problems.

	Silas Deane
		Early in 1776 he was sent to France by Congress, in a semi-official capacity, as a secret agent to induce the French government to lend its financial aid to the colonies.
		Subsequently he became, with Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee, one of the regularly accredited commissioners to France from Congress.
		His carelessness in keeping account of his receipts and expenditures, and the differences between himself and Arthur Lee regarding the contracts with Beaumarchais, eventually led, in November 1777, to his recall to face charges, of which Lee's complaints formed the basis.

		Lee married the daughter of a New York banker, and became a great admirer of East Coast "Brahmin" culture – epitomized by Harvard with its newly founded Fogg Art Museum.
		Lee declined having the institute named after him and suggested, with characteristic modesty, that it should be named after Samuel Courtauld for the vital role he had played in bringing the project to reality.
		The Lee Collection itself was always intended to provide examples for teaching – beauty, fame and immaculate condition were less important to Lee than the relationship of a particular painting to the historical development of art as a whole.

		He overcame his own doubts about the possibly dishonest dealings of his fellow commissioner Silas Deane in channeling war materials to American armies, but the third commissioner, Arthur Lee (1740-92), bitterly condemned both Deane and Franklin.
		For seven years he acted as diplomat, purchasing agent, recruiting officer, loan negotiator, admiralty court, and intelligence chief and was generally the main representa- tive of the new United States in Europe.
		Though nearly 80 years old, he oversaw the dispatch of French armies and navies to North America, supplied American armies with French munitions, outfitted John Paul Jones--whose famous ship the Bonhomme Richard was named in Franklin's honor--and secured a succession of loans from the nearly bankrupt French treasury.
