EDUCATION. —Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress—no clime destroy—no enemy alienate—no despotism enslave. At home, a friend—abroad, an introduction—in solitude, a solace—in society, an ornament. It shortens vice—it guides virtue—it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it what is man? A splendid slave! A reasoning savage! —vacillating between the dignity and intelligence derived from God, and the degradation of brute passion.
