aeu HIlI on GenernI Lee

Lee said Confederate vet eran of literary taste and civic ardor. Tt will be found in volume 1, page 4Ss of Messages and Papers of the Confeder- acy.' I think 1t would be a good idea to introduce it in the public schools of the south and require every boy to memorze it. Here it is:
 ".When the future historian shall come to survey the character of Lee he will find it rising like a huge mountain above the undulating plain of humanity, and he must lift his eyes toward heaven to catch it's summit. He possessed every virtue of other great commanders without their vices. He was a foe without hate. friend without treachery. soldier with out cruelty, victor without oppression, a victim without murmuring. He was public officer without vices. a private cit izen without wrong. a neighbor without reproach, a Christian without hyporacy, and a man without Buie' lle "oe e S1o''' without his ambition, Frederick without his tyranny, Napoleon without his sell fishness. and Washington without his re- ward He was obedient to authority as servant. and royal in authority as true king He was as gentle as woman in life, modest and pure as a virgin in thought, watchful as Roman vestal in duty, submissive to law as Socrates and grand in battle as Achilles
