It was the best of times it was the worst of times it was the age of wisdom it was the age of foolishness it was the epoch of belief it was the epoch of incredulity it was the season of Light it was the season of Darkness it was the spring of hope it was the winter of despair we had everything before us we had nothing before us we were all going direct to heaven we were all doing direct the other wayin short the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received for good or for evil in the superlative degree of comparison only.
History shows that there is nothing so easy to enslave and nothing so hard to emancipate as ignorance hence it becomes the double enemy of civilization. By its servility it is the prey of tyranny and by its credulity it is the foe of enlightenment
