Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration Delivered Before the City Government and Citizens of Boston, in Music Hall, July 4, 1874 Mr. Mayor, Gentlemen of the Council, Fellow-Citizens: - The annual town-meeting, held in Boston in 1783, voted "that the Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence should be constantly celebrated by the delivery of a public oration, in which the orator shall consider the feelings, manners, and principles which led to this great national event, as well as the important and happy effects" that "shall forever continue to flow from it." From that time there has been a succession of utterances giving expression to the love and veneration in which successive generations on this historic soil hold the memory of the sages and heroes of the Revolution. The men of Boston of that era, by their unswerving devotion to principle, won the admiration of their brethren in all the colonies, and the gratitude of posterity. We meet to-day, not as citizens of a town, or of a city, or of a State, but as Americans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
