only earnestly and freely reciprocate these
feelings let us visit the United States, not
merely to enjoy the humors of young civ
iliZation, or to write trcatiscs on practical
democracy, or to glority our exclusive ma

of brute and barren space, this our country's

Greece are to the classical scholar, what
Rome to Roman Catholic, what Jerusalem
to the Christian world, that England is to.
