Excerpt from Cursory Family Sketches My ancient but ignoble blood, Has crept thro' scoundrels ever since the flood. As to the intrinsic value of rank and titles, a man's grandfather had as well be a peasant as a prince; a cobbler as a king; since the source of honor, or of degradation lies within his own bosom, and the power of distinction within himself. The question is not, who his grand-sire was, but, who he is. Merit is the same, whether it mounts a throne.
