Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Celebration of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Grafton, April 29, 1885 The love of kindred is a sentiment large enough to include and account for that reverence and affection which we feel for those of our ancestors whose forms vanished from earth long before our own time. That sentiment is not altogether dependent upon personal presence, nor upon the mutual exchange of kindly offices, but abides with us as a permanent and elementary principle of our nature. We find it impossible, therefore, to repress a feeling of deep and intimate concern in the history of a community of which our ancestors formed a ∂ and if, perchance, the characters with whom we are dealing were cast in a heroic mould, or were great and happy in their fortunes and achievements, they become in a peculiar sense, - "The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns." One hundred and fifty years have now passed since the incorporation of this town. You select this as a fitting occasion to recall the memory of the fathers who laid the foundation of these institutions into which you were born.
