Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remarks of the Hon. Robert T. Conrad, at the Celebration of the Anniversary of American Independence: By the Philadelphia Repeal Association, at the Arch Street Theatre, July 5, 1841 The limited time afforded by my official duties for the task which I arise to perform, has been, by other causes, circumscribed to a few hours; and I now regret that it was not entrusted with one of more ability and leisure than myself. Yet the duty should not be an arduous one. This is a festival rather of the heart than the head. It is a day that breaks the seals which close the great deep of our hearts, and bids our early, and world-chilled patriotism burst forth into its original and exulting freshness. It asks no cold philosophies, no deep disquisitions; but the union of virtuous hearts in devout thanksgiving for the blessings which this day hath secured our country. Such a duty should require no long-drawn note of preparation, but should spring, in living and palpitating fervor from the heart: and even if - as is now the case - he who ministers at the altar of liberty utter the rites but feebly, the deficiency will be overborne by the truth of the faith and the fervor of the worship. I am one of those who would cherish our national Sabbaths. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
