"If circumspection and caution are a part of wisdom, when we work only upon
inanimate matter, surely they become a part of duty too, when the subject of our demo-
lition and construction is not brick and timber, but sentient beings, by the sudden
alteration of whose state, condition, and habits, multitudes may be rendered miserable."
