Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of the Washington National Monument Society to the People of the United States Commended to you by a charter from Congress, the Washington National Monument Society invites your prompt, earnest, and persevering action in completing the Monument to the Father of his Country at the National Metropolis. The universal custom of nations, civilized and barbarous, to commemorate by monumental representations remarkable events in their history, and their gratitude to great public benefactors, is evidence that such testimonials are prompted by a feeling natural to the human heart. Experience has shown that in free States their tendency is to cherish public spirit, devotion to liberty, and generous emulation of the patriotism which incited to deeds thus honored by the community. The life of George Washington is the history of the American Revolution and of the foundation of the American Republic; events equaling in dignity and importance any other, and, in their influence on human freedom and progress, surpassing all others, in the annals of our race. His personal character is hailed by the consenting voice of the whole world as a model of excellence - solitary, transcendent, unapproached. Men of all descriptions, and everywhere, take pride in his name. It is the - watchword of liberty in every land; it is heard with mingled respect and apprehension in the palaces of kings; with reverence in the hut of the savage.
