"And there will be a time when this great truth, And the blood-cemented pyramids of ignorance Then, and not till then, "Will all empty ranks be abolished, and For "that King of Kings who gave to the world the device of moveable types, and taught the art of printing, disbanded armies, dethroned monarchs, and created a whole new democratic world." Every effort in a republican government, should be made "To give the mind that apprehensive power The moral properties and scope of things:" And to this end, we believe a more acceptable service could not be rendered to the friends of learning and liberty, than to collect and publish the most valuable opinions of Lord Brougham on the subject of the People's Education. |
