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

KING'BIRD, n. A fowl of the genus Paradisea; also, a species of the genus Muscicapa, so called from its courage in attacking larger fowls.
A small American bird
(Tyrannus tyrannus, or T. Carolinensis), noted for its
courage in attacking larger birds, even hawks and eagles, especially
when they approach its nest in the breeding season. It is a typical
tyrant flycatcher, taking various insects upon the wing. It is dark
ash above, and blackish on the head and tail. The quills and wing
coverts are whitish at the edges. It is white beneath, with a white
terminal band on the tail. The feathers on the head of the adults
show a bright orange basal spot when erected. Called also bee
bird, and bee martin. Several Southern and Western species
of Tyrannus are also called king birds.
