39Thomas Skidmore to Thomas Jefferson, 18 August 1822 (Jefferson Papers)
To know how to achieve the grandest object that the mind of man can contemplate, and not to have the means of achievement; to speculate on the sublimest spectacle as a mathematical certainty, & to want the aid that can make it a physical one, appreciable by the grosser senses of our race, as well as by those persons of refined intellect; such a situation is, surely, not to be envied, if,...
