"When a country so idolizes its old forms as to tremble at an appeal from their use, the avenues to improvement, are closed; national reputation sickens; the expiring rattle is heard in the larynx of genius and the cold sweat of death covers the public body - a Republic must advance, or it must retrograde." - the Author.
