coaches littered the streets in a protrusive skyline with church spires colonised hanover street and wall street laced with garden pleasures across north of the hudson shore on weekend.It was rated by john adams as grand,next,clean,elegant and beautiful more than boston or philadelphia.""you know they were fast talkers,boisterious and loquacious elements and hordes of fast money changers."dave
Did I hear you say crime was so perversive where the opulence of riches only made mass poverty so conspicuous in the fast protrusive city?"Maxwell yarned."That was a child play to the fact not only was municipal hospital overrun by indigent patients during the glacial winter in 1772-1773 when east River froze but that pervasive crime led to breakdown of bridgewell prison's ground.
Dave decided to trundle on a fact once again"Femo it was speculated in the late 1773 or early 1774 Hamilton was admitted to King's do you agree?""You did not always have to agree or share consensus with that writer I suspect did that speculation."Femo rebutted the trundling panache of Dave's prejudice."You should ask why did it speculate such matters of fact in the first place?If I may ask you the disputed writer please?""We re historicist Dave you know that and I plead you you don't always have to agree or succumb facts dole out by Ron Chernow cited the fact his stay overlapped with that of his St Croix's friend Edward Stevens and Robert Troup""Oh cited the fact that was hinged on their been graduated from the school by the summer of 1774.""I may have to agree despite my resistance because he was listed by President Cooper among seventeen students who were graduated in 1774 summer.
Graduated or matriculated ""Matriculated rather given the average student's age was 15years and Chernow suspected Hamilton for deducting two years from his nineteen years old age .Cooper granted him a special student's status taking private lectures and audited tutorials and not a member.He started to study mathematics in September 1774 under President Robert Harpur .He exposed his new pupils to vast writing of Adam Smith,David Hume and classical economics.
Femi slowed down.
Infact he introduced him to the Scottish enlightenment and other luminaries.He was with him for almost a decade.
"He also used his St.Croix subsidy at his point bcos I could recall a don won a debate with fellow dons that came from Tuskegee where the latter made a racial argument."Dave choked Femi 's breath."Like seriously Maxwell did u hear him?Who won the debate?""Of course Tuskegee black don took the convincing lead and was d rarest debate I witnessed as a collegiate and a sophomore."Dave admittedly concurred with Femi"In this context I did warn you not to swallow bad breath or halitosis hook line and sinker whatever the most objective writer in this everlasting case has to argue."Maxwell chipped in"u mean Ron Chernow again?""of course"Femo cacophonously remarked"Let him breathe please"I wouldn't because they barely let the black writers breathe worst case scenario Harlem writers of the 1920s."Femo threw bombshell with alacrity."U re right "Maxwell noted""uhmmmm....."Dave overwhelmed with silence."You know at this point when Hamilton was living on shoestring budget a charity student so to say living on subsidy, Chernow himself admitted that there are no extant portrait or visible emphatic drawings of Hamilton at this point and they only relied on adjunct description that he stood five foot seven a fair complexion,combative nature,rosy cheeks and big mouthed personage amusing and observant,thin and elegant.That is a circumspection that lends credence to the fact that the possibility of fraudulent portrait was later drawn with vacuous portrait to indicate he was white and not black.""Nope He was white. ""He was black and that exactly after his death they drew up the false portrait of white man.""Femi I disgreed with you.Best ally described him""Who ?You re still going back.Was it not the same Fisher Ames who made some graphic impressions that white folks like Chernow relied on and yet deserted him after he was murdered who made the remarks?"Yeah Fisher exactly"People's history was unbundled and went as far as destroying this evidence from St kith and Nevis down to St croix a region of west indies that was predominantly where black outran white folks .
Any that besides he went to study anatomy under Dr.Samuel Glossy a pioneering surgeon from Dublin attended his anatomy lectures of the enfanterible surgeon who acquired notoriety of escavating dead bodies for medical research also a practioner of black arts fed on cadavers from local cemeteries for proper dissection.He borrowed dis pattern from England.""The practiced was outlawed in 1789 when the new construction was born."Dave remarked"At the cost of many souls due to effect of massive riot that took the cities by storm.He was extremely brilliant in anatomy and infact his physician David Hossack later remarked few in America knew the functions of the body in America more than Hamilton.He mastered classics at king's lot of Greek and Latin literature from philosophy,math, science to geography with unquenchable energy raced through his studies with incredulous velocity,a library's gourmet so much passionate with brown study that he sacked and stripped the books naked of their contents to gain mastery of the works of Montesquieu, Thomas Hobbes,Hume,legal sages like William Blackstone,Hugo Grotius, Samuel Puffendorf and once branded Emmerich de Vattel as the most erudite luminary in the law of nations now known as international law.With voracious study,he compensated himself with squandered childhood and freely drew from exorbitant sources of the Roman and Greeks to provide rich argument that stood him out from the other leaders during the early republic.Before history could say jack Robinson he had uncovered most unique system of government that perfectly fitted new world.""They said he hardly participated in students pranks and never for once appeared in the college's black book where infractions by students were recorded often sported chattering alone contents of retentive memoirs bursting the genius from within paced the Hudson river bank where he did the rehearsal alongside tree shaded Batteau street later Dey street.Subsequently introduced same time tested and tight diurnal regimen to his son.He was a great role model in the profitable use of time and effective application of mental energy.
You get it now "Femi concluded as he stood Dave and Maxwell followed him standing and the tired ladies moved closer."I do but in the account of the offending students the so called black book students were tormented by memorizing lines from Horace or other scholars and am not sure A.Burr was out of the black book punishment?"Dave retorted."I don't have that statistics about the executioner the world greatest robber of a world greatest mind."Maxwell was doing parthing shot and bade them off as they moved to the highway for public transport and Maxwell influenced the exchanges of contacts and Dave said"Are you going on a trudge again?"He was embarrassed Maxwell would be trekking home in the same he came to the hotel looking for them
I think your rectitude and the recrudescence is grandstanding and grandslam in this context and above all your tornado or hurricane of fortitude is unequal."Maxwell chipped in the bombastic heartrending jaw."Oh my hardluck story you won't understand.Anyway I appreciate your concern."bode spoke after they exchange pleasantries with Dave and Femi hugged and banter about the next meeting and shortly Dave left in the public transport.Still speaking with Maxwell after Dave departure Femi joined them bode who had been silent for a while and they stood close to public alehouse.
Femi moved closer to the discussion as he waved off Dave in the public transport and embraced the equalitarian gesture extended by bode to evacuate him from street."We ve made it here and we stay palatial mansion with fifteen rooms.We encourage you to come onboard"They rimmed round him like a rising of benevolence fomented his rip-roaring risibility."He was right let us live together because we have a lot in common.Do you agree?"Maxwell couldn't roan whimsically fallen from inedible rind where the gesture seem to rollick him with no option like a street urchin on their encroaching roan and capitulated."Am interested"still laughing "what a roll of honour!"
"No thanks!"bode pleaded"You mean a homeless like you still find time to respond to education in an unconducive environment?"Femi alarmed.'We re used to it and we re about seven African immigrants sleeping in the streets and still find time for classes.We know job is available for software development not just students of history."
They boarded the waiting cardilac and zoomed off bode shaking head like Agama lizard pounding away the Machine from a screeching halt towards the estate their destination ten km away as the rains burst forth hitting and rebounded intermittently on the windscreen."U re leaving next year?"inquisitive."Nope this am leaving I did submit my papers to a software firm and gonna be there next week for the interview."Good!"Femi screamed.They bantered along two men at the backside with gusto the bliss and pang of Career people and chattering loud and some sort of comedies delectable men relished the open gist with great alacrity.
