You have a "here comes an S!" apostrophe in the fifth word.

But is it:

1. A typo made in copying the original quote,

2. A typo made by Jefferson in 1787,

3. just the way apostrophes were used in the 18th century?

Good points. If it were not a Glenn typo, though, I would have expected him to include a note to that effect.

It's in the original, 7th line from the bottom.

You're right, I should have (and had intended to) make such an annotation. I'll edit the entry.

#2 would have to be a "grapho", since he didn't type or typeset it ... Sorry, feeling pedantic this afternoon -- hope it comes out as cute as it sounded in my head.
