Excerpt

WE love to trace, m the descendants of those men who at various periods have benefited and adorned the world by their actions, some trait of resemblance in mind or in person which. Identifies them with their ancestors; we look back with plea sure to the recollections of past fame, and anticipate with eagerness its renewal. In duced by the happy omen to bestow more care upon the individual in whom we have discovered such a likeness, however faint, we may cherish the promise of excellence by protection, and ripen it by the example of former days, into the full maturity of virtue and of glory.
