now see, and as well as we can now judge, Washington will soon be on the borders of the nation to which it belongs, instead Maillot Benfica Lisbonne Pas CHer of at its center. I fear, therefore, that we must acknowledge that the site chosen for his country’s capital by George Washington has not been fortunate.
I have a strong idea, which I expressed before in speaking of the capital of the Canadas, that no man can ordain that on such a spot shall be built a great and thriving city. No man can so ordain even though he leave behind him, as was the case with Washington, a prestige sufficient to bind his successors Maillot Atlético Madrid Pas CHer to his wishes. The political leaders of the country have done what Maillot Uruguay Pas CHer they could for Washington. The pride of the nation Halpa Naiset Cg Snow Parka has endeavored to sustain the character of its chosen metropolis. There has been no rival, soliciting favor on the strength of other charms. The country has all been agreed on the point since the father of the country first commenced the work. Florence and Rome Scarpe Nike Zoom KD 9 in Italy have each their pretensions; but in the States no other city Ostaa Halpa Nike Air Max 2017 Miehet has put itself forward for the honor of Halpa Miehet Realization Takki entertaining Congress. And yet Washington has been a Halpa Naiset Gore Tex Takki failure. It is commerce that makes great cities, and commerce has refused to back the general’s choice. Sweats Pas CHer New York and Philadelphia, without any political power, have become great among the cities of the earth. They are beaten by none except by London and Paris. But Washington is but a ragged, unfinished collection of unbuilt broad streets, as to the completion of which there can now, I imagine, be but little hope.
Of all places that I know it is the most ungainly and most unsatisfactory: I fear I must also say the most presumptuous in its pretensions. There is a map of Washington accurately laid down; and taking that map with him in his journeyings, a man may lose himself in the streets, not as one loses one’s self in London, between Shoreditch and Russell Square, but as one does so in the deserts of the Holy Land, between Emmaus and Arimathea. In the first place no one knows where the places arelinks:
