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

BER'YL,n. [L.beryllus; Eng.brilliant.]
A mineral, considered by Cleaveland as a subspecies of Emerald. Its prevailing color is green of various shades,but always pale. Its crystals are usually longer and larger than those of the precious emerald, and its structure more distinctly foliated. It is harder than the apatite,with which it has been confounded; harder and less heavy than the pycnite. The best beryls are found in Brazil, in Siberia and Ceylon, and in Dauria, on the frontiers of China. They are found in many parts of the United States.
A mineral of great hardness, and,
when transparent, of much beauty. It occurs in hexagonal prisms, commonly
of a green or bluish green color, but also yellow, pink, and white. It is a
silicate of aluminium and glucinum (beryllium). The aquamarine is a
transparent, sea-green variety used as a gem. The emerald is another
variety highly prized in jewelry, and distinguished by its deep color,
which is probably due to the presence of a little oxide of
chromium.
