Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary

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... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

BEHA'VE, v.i. To act; to conduct; generally applied to manners, or to conduct in any particular business; and in a good or bad sense. He behaves well or will.
1913 Definition

point of behavior; to discipline; to handle; to restrain.
[Obs.]
He did behave his anger ere 't was spent. To carry; to conduct; to comport; to manage; to
bear; -- used reflexively.
Those that behaved themselves manfully. To act; to conduct; to
bear or carry one's self; as, to behave well or ill.
* This verb is often used colloquially without an adverb of manner; as, if he does not behave, he will be punished. It is also often applied to inanimate objects; as, the ship behaved splendidly. | ||||||||
Noah Says...
In correcting public evils, great reliance is placed on schools. But learning and sciences have no material effect in subduing ambition and selfishness, reconciling parties or subjecting private interest to the influence of a ruling preference of public good.
