Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 8: Part I HE most 'lavish liberality or generosity exhibited in this world of men is shown in the bestowal of a gift which does not belong to the donor of it. In such cases there is generally a very slight knowledge, if not an absolute ignorance, of the quality and value of the gift; so the terms of it are likely to be not only very general but very loose and vague. Indeed, part of the charm of such a gift will consist in the undefined possibilities, the imagined revelations, which may go with it. The burdens and responsibilities attending the acceptance of it, and the trespasses Upon the rights of others, the injuries likely to be in icted Upon them, and the struggles, animosities, and controversies, with the risk of final discom fiture, in the maintenance of such a possession, are either not taken into account, or are winked out of sight.
