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

GNE'ISS, n. ne'is. In mineralogy, a species of aggregated rock, composed of quartz, feldspar and mica, of a structure more or less distinctly slaty. The layers, whether straight or curved, are frequently thick, but often vary considerably in the same specimen. It passes on one side into granite, from which it differs in its slaty structure, and on the other into mica slate. It is rich in metalic ores.
A crystalline rock, consisting, like granite, of
quartz, feldspar, and mica, but having these materials, especially
the mica, arranged in planes, so that it breaks rather easily into
coarse slabs or flags. Hornblende sometimes takes the place of the
mica, and it is then called hornblendic or syenitic gneiss.
Similar varieties of related rocks are also called gneiss.
