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

GON'DOLA, n. A flat-bottomed boat, very long and narrow, used at Venice in Italy on the canals. A gondola of middle size is about thirty feet long and four broad, terminating at each end in a sharp point or peak rising to the highth of a man. It is usually rowed by two men, called gondoliers, who propel the boat by pushing the oars. The gondola is also used in other parts of Italy for a passage boat.
A long, narrow boat with a high prow and
stern, used in the canals of Venice. A gondola is usually propelled
by one or two oarsmen who stand facing the prow, or by poling. A
gondola for passengers has a small open cabin amidships, for their
protection against the sun or rain. A sumptuary law of Venice
required that gondolas should be painted black, and they are
customarily so painted now.
A flat-bottomed boat for freight.
[U. S.] A long platform car, either having no
sides or with very low sides, used on railroads.
[U. S.] An elongated car under a dirigible.
