I The influence of men is not to be confined to the circle of their acquaintance. It spreads on every side of them, like the undulations of the smitten water, and will reach those whom they never saw. The love of truth is a bow of peace, ready for every concession that is honest, firm against every compromise that is not. It is the noblest stimulus to inquiry; ardent to seek, yet patient to examine ; willing to communicate, but more willing io receive; contemptuous of petty curiosity, but passionate for knowledge.
