The closing paragraph runs as follows: All good citizens should be enlisted in the reform of abuses. But their work need be none the less effective because they are soberly conscious that when the blare of trumpets is heard no more, the glory of reform accomplished, and of a safe and beneficent public policy made strong and lasting, will be a hu...
