The erection of a building requires the preparation of a quantity of material elsewhere. The national structure is no exception. The making of the United States was not begun when the first settlements were established on these shores; the materials were brought from far and wide. Many of the stones built into the foundation of this Republic were hewn out by the Reformation; the formation of the quarries reaches far back. It is not the purpose of this paper to examine the quarries or the work done in them; we will leave this research to others and to another time.
