"The institution Of military academy is also re
commended by cogent reasons However pacific
the general policy Of nation may be, it ought never

energy of its character, and both would hazard It's

not be avoided. Besides, that war might often not
depend upon its choice. In proportion, as the
observance Of pacific maxims might exempt a ma
