Pay special attention to the final paragraph. This book was written in 1859, but Lord Brougham’s quote was 1839.

And they want to tear down statues. And we let them. I’m not saying the statues must stay as if by divine decree; I am merely stating that this Lord Brougham hit the nail on the head. Wisdom and virtue will not be found in a people who do not honor Washington. This was and is self-evident. So read up! And remind others when they drift!
