Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biography of the Illustrious Citizen, General Lafayette: The Hero, the Statesman, the Philanthropist, the Early and Constant Friend of America, and the Champion of the Equal Rights of Mankinds Even a brief Biography of the illustrious Citizen, who is now our Nation´s Guest, must be desirable to every American. In the bloom of youth he embarked his fortune, and hazarded his life, in the great cause of the rights of mankind. His attachment, unremitted zeal, distinguished generalship and bravery, as an officer, till the great object of our revolutionary struggle was attained; bis republican principles, the conspicuous part he took for the same cause in the great drama of revolutionary France, his consistency of republican character and moderation, in aiming at a middle course between the gloomy despotism of tyrants, and the madness, the blood-thirsty fury of Jacobinical mobs, justly entitle him to the immortal honor of being considered the Washington of Europe. Happy would it be, could the same parallel be drawn as to the result of the struggles in the native countries of the heroes of Mount Vernon and Legrange. The Marquis de Lafayette, was born at Auvergne, a province of France, on the 6th of September, 1757, making him sixty-seven years of age on the 6th of September, 1824; And we may envy that city of the United States whose honor it shall be to have his presence on the celebration of his birthday. And how fortunate, how honorable, would it be to our happy country, should this hero and patriot resolve to spend his remaining years among these ten millions of his friends.
