How to Learn Touch Typing Without Bad HabitsJefferson's First Inaugural: frugal government
A hyphenated address and a double hyphen force the right hand onto the hyphen key twice in the first line.
The key tester needs a physical keyboard. On a phone, try the typing test instead.
Still one thing more, fellow-citizens--a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.

What you just typedJefferson's First Inaugural: frugal government
Jefferson took the oath on 4 March 1801 in the unfinished Capitol, the first inauguration held in Washington. He spoke so quietly that most of the audience could not hear him, so the National Intelligencer printed the text that same morning. This sentence gives his definition of good government in one breath. The same speech carries the line about being all Republicans and all Federalists.
