“Under circumstances of this sort, there can be no doubt that those
microcosmic minds, which, habitually occupied in the consideration of
what is little, are incapable of discerning what is great, and who
already stigmatise the proposition as a romantic scheme, will, not
unsparingly, distribute the epithets—absurd, ridiculous, chimerical.
The commissioners must, nevertheless, have the hardihood to brave the
sneers and sarcasms of men who, with too much pride to study, and too
much wit to think, undervalue what they do not understand, and
condemn what they cannot comprehend.”
