Now ordinarily i will put these photos in a collage, since they are all pictures of a same location, but I thought this building was really very beautiful. The above pictures are of the Boston Public Library. See how grand their city library is! If you scrutinise closely, you will see inscriptions along the sides of the roof of the building. There's one inscription that had a really important message, but it was too long for me to take it down on a photo. The inscription is
"THE COMMONWEALTH REQUIRES THE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE AS THE SAFEGUARD OF ORDER AND LIBERTY" (from wikipedia)
The message drove home the point (at that time) that Boston is the cradle of the Commonwealth (and later the United States of America).
