Notes: Patterson credits the idea for the republican form of government to Moses, "who instituted the twelve United States of Israel, in the desert, with universal suffrage, popular election of all officers, the armed nation, the divisio of the land in fee-simple to all the people, and the devotion of one twelfth of the people to national education. All Christian nations base their legislation and their common law on the commandments written on the two tablets of stone by the same native of Egypt" (pp. 18-19). The author elaborates on the prophetic significance between the completion of the Suez Canal, the projected Euphrates Valley Railway, and the Jewish restoration "to their own land" (p. 52).
