these speeches cost. We can remember
the sleepless nights, the fearful struggles,
the searches for adiectives and adVerbs
6t TO express our original ideas, the ram
sacking Of classics, Of sciences, OF history
and poetry, Tor comparisons and meta
phofs wherewith to paint and adorn our
native excogitatons, Having "been
there your respondent always sym
