Excerpt from A Brief Memoir of Dr. Elisha Bartlett: With Selections From His Writings and a Bibliography of the Same The foundation of a state rests on the virtue, the patriotism and the knowledge possessed by its citizens; why, then, is it not the duty of the state to perpetuate the memory of those of its citizens who most possess these virtues, as a means of strengthening its own existence. The good name of its citizens is the heritage of the state, and should not be confined to family limits. The state is lavish of her bounty while we recite deeds of bravery and heroism, too often coupled with brutality, for the purpose of inciting emulation in the minds of youth. Peace also hath her victories, and these, too, deserve well at the hands of the state. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
