This is one of the great est events in the history of the whole world, a step toward peace with all nations. Literature has been extended in all its departments, and mankind are becoming more and more enlightened and intelligent. Bryant says Knowledge is the material with which Genius builds her fabrics. The greater its abundance, the more power is required to dispose it into order and beauty, but the more vast and magnificent will be the structure.
