In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...

BAS'ILIC, n. s as z. [L. basilica; Gr. a king.]
Anciently, a public hall or court of judicature, where princes and magistrates sat to administer justice. It was a large hall, with aisles, porticoes, tribunes, and tribunals. The bankers also had a part allotted for their residence. These edifices, at first, were the palaces of princes, afterwards courts of justice, and finally converted into churches. Hence basilic now signifies a church, chapel,cathedral, or royal palace.
