And what duty more pressing on its legislature, than to patronize a plan for communicating it to those, who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country ? The institution of a military academy, is also recommended by cogent reasons.
Page 163 - But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Page 100 - I have heretofore proposed to the consideration of Congress the expediency of establishing a national university and also a military academy.
