Classical Conversations of Greensboro

‎"But every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country; he should lisp the praise of liberty, and of those illustrious heroes and statesmen, who have wrought a revolution in her favor."

– Noah Webster, "On the Education of Youth in America, Epilogue: Securing the Republic," 1788; "A Collection of Essays and Fugitiv Writings on Moral, Historical, Political and Literary Subjects," Boston, 1790; reprint. Delmar, N.Y.: Scholars' Facsimiles & Reprints, 1977
