Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Writings, Levi Woodbury, LL. D, Vol. 3 of 3: Political, Judicial and Literary; Now First Selected and Arranged; Literary The desire expressed by the Mechanic Association of Portsmouth to listen to a course of lectures on literary and scientific subjects is an illustration of the improving spirit of the age in which we live. It would ill become one whose obligations to the people of this town are so numerous as mine to withhold his contribution, however humble, from the promotion of so laudable a desire; and, allow me to assure my friends of this association that the few hours stolen from professional avocations, and dedicated to their service, have been, and are, clouded with no regrets, except for my inability to present an offering more worthy of this interesting occasion. We live in such an era of wonders, that neither the occasion nor the age can be duly estimated, without some analysis. Where, little more than two centuries ago, the untutored Indian roved through a wilderness, within sight of the blue waves that still break on the rocks where Hilton and his fellow-adventurers leaped to make the first settlement of Laconia, with the noble river rolling by us whose bosom then had reflected only the driftwood and the birchen canoe, - it is now even there, in churches consecrated to the true God, and surrounded by splendid dwellings, - those rocks, bordered by cultivated fields, and that river, spanned with bridges, and fringed with the masts of commerce, and by hulls destined to protect that commerce, and our country´s honor, perhaps on the most distant seas, - it is here we assemble, to urge onward still further and faster the improvements of this most exciting era in the annals of the world.
