Condo et compono quæ mox depromere possim. HOR.
La docte ANTIQUITE fut toujours vénérable: BOILEAU.
Nature has implanted in our breasts a lively impulse to extend the narrow
span of our existence, by the knowledge of the events that have happened
on the soil which we inhabit, of the characters and actions of those men
from whom our descent, as individuals or as a people, is derived. GIBBON.
