26 INAUGURAL ADDRESS, 
with the widest permanency through the world not only for the 
welfare of the greatest of nations, but also for the tranquillity 
and happiness of all mankind ! 
“What guides man in his high pursuit, 
Opens, illumes and cheers his way ? 
Discerns immortals from the brute, 
God’s image from the moulds of clay ? 
°’Tis knowledge! and that to the soul 
Is power, is liberty and peace ; 
And, while celestial ages roll, 
The light of knowledge shall increase |”
