Excerpt from Comparison of Experiments on American and Foreign Building Stones, to Determine Their Relative Strength and Durability

It is a mockery to the dead, and an Opprobrium to the living to put perishable materials into struc tures professing to perpetuate the virtue of great and good men. The Spanish nation is represented to have recently determined on the erection of a magnificent statue of bronze to rest on a base of rose granite, the most enduring of that species of rock, to commemorate the glory Of Columbus.
