Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lecture on the Source of All Civilization: And the Means of Preserving Our Civil and Religious Liberty, Delivered Before the Young Men´s Literary and Social Union, of the City of Indianapolis A survey of the history of nations shows to every clear-sighted searcher after truth, that mankind is generally progressing to a better state as to physical, moral and intellectual improvement. Although generations are constantly coming and disappearing, we observe, nevertheless, that all the seeds of culture and enlightenment which have been cast by individuals before hundreds and thousands of years into the wide furrows of time, have, through all change, not been lost, but ripen to charming blossoms and yield finally delicious fruits. As the stars rise and set in the firmament, and even the remotest and smallest one does not appear there in vain, but is shedding its mild and twinkling light, just so is the smallest intellectual power never lost, but has been, and is, irradiating the whole human race by its salutary beams, until the sun of knowledge will rise and shine in full glory to the later generations. Men make not only gigantic progress in arts and sciences, but also in morals, and therefore become generally better, more civilized and judicious. Prejudice, superstition, fanaticism, intolerance and mania of persecution vanish daily more and more, and nearly everywhere speak the laws loudly and energetically of equality, of the civil rights of all men, of people´s sovereignty, and antiquated political principles are changed, altered or abolished by degrees according to the spirit of the times. Slavery and vassalage have not only been abolished nearly everywhere in civilized Europe, but also in our beloved Union, the model of all republics, they are torn up by the roots by a majority of the people with unprecedented vigor and sacrifices.
