Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Consistency of the Normal Metes and Bounds of Our Republic, Vol. 3: A Jewel From Which the People Should Be Loathe to Part
The rust shall find the sword of fame, The dust shall hide the crown, No man shall nail so high his name, Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat, Was in some quiet breast That breathed the common daylight sweet, And left to heaven the rest.
For this work, I must say that I am strongly inclined to regard it as an inspiration wrought through a chain of Divinemysteries, and penetrating the veil which separates the human within from the superhuman without, to our people.
I am now confident that in less than one month, by apply ing my spare moments while teaching school, I have written a work that will be sold by its millions, and read by people of many nations. It will be thought of in field, shop and home. It will be quoted from the pulpit and impersonated on the stage. It will gradually gain admittance to the hearts of a vast people, and be found woven, here and there, in the warp and woof of the garment that shall clothe the weal of all good governments.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again, The eternal years of God are hers While error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies among her worshipers.
