Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Last Hundred Years: A Lecture Delivered in the Hall of the Western University of Pennsylvania, on Tuesday Evening, Feb; 4, 1845, at the Request of the Philomathean Literary Institute, and Published in Aid of the Library Fund of That Association Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with no little hesitation, that I enter on a duty which I have undertaken to discharge this evening, at the request of the young gentlemen of the University composing the Philomathean Institute, who have originated this course of Literary and Scientific Lectures, to aid them in collecting a library. The interest I feel in their important undertaking, and my earnest desire that it may be eminently successful, would not allow me to decline their invitation to address you, though I fear I may be unable, in the discussion of the subject I have chosen, to meet the reasonable expectation of this intelligent audience. But the Rubicon is passed - my theme and my engagement have both been announced. I therefore respectfully solicit your attention to a brief retrospect of the events of the last hundred years, in their political physical, and moral aspect. The subject is one of great interest. The last hundred years is a period of extraordinary character, abounding in extraordinary events, and developing an extraordinary progress of society in almost every respect; perhaps more so than any other period in the history of our race.
