Excerpt from The Life of Alexander Hamilton, Vol. 2
The War of the Revolution, as a scene of military movements, fades into insignificance before the conflicts of the elder Nations of the earth.
It is as a var of Opinion - as the beginning of that great experiment in modern times, whether men are capable of self-government - that it assumes its immeasurable importance.
A new World is seen rising into view - a World of Hope; and as the great lights that shone upon its morning path of advancing glory appear, the grateful inquiry is - Whose were those superior minds that, amid the darkness of a chaotic confederacy, combined the elements of Social order, and formed them into a vast majestic Empire?
The Wealth of Nations is their illustrious few.
