The infant periods of most nations are buried in silence or veiled in fable; and the world perhaps has lost but little which it needs regret. The origin and outset of the American Republic contain lessons of which posterity ought not to be deprived: and happily there never was a case in which every interesting incident could be so accurately preserved. ✨ James Madison, David B. Mattern (1997). James Madison's Advice to My Country, p.15, University of Virginia Press
