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

BI'LANDER, n. A small merchant vessel with two masts, distinguished from other vessels of two masts, by the form of the main-sail, which is bent to the whole length of a yard, hanging fore and aft, and inclined to the horizon in an angle of about 45 degrees; the foremost lower corner, called the tack, being secured to a ring-bolt in the deck, and the aftermost or sheet, to the tafferel. Few vessels are now rigged in this manner.
The bilander is a kind of hoy, manageable by four or five men and used chiefly in the canals of the Low Countries.
A small
two-masted merchant vessel, fitted only for coasting, or for use in canals,
as in Holland.
Why choose we, then, like bilanders to creep | ||||||||
