Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Before the Literary Societies of Roanoke College, Ua Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Literary Societies: Few Americans could, I think, come here from the North for the first time by the route I have just passed over, without emotion. The history of this State has been so distinguished and eventful; she has had such large share in the foundation, the trials, the growths, and the triumphs of the nation, that no citizen can well enter her territory with indifference. Her very name recalls that sovereign whose reign was alike one of the grandest periods of English literature and English power. Every mile of the way hither is rich in the memory of great men and of great deeds. The route passes by the home of that wise and august man whose rare fortune it was to go down to history as the most faultless of heroes - so perfect that we even love to hear that he sometimes yielded to a burst of feeling or an outbreak of temper. It passes Fauquier, the birthplace of that great jurist who had such large share in setting the nature and powers of our National Government, and whose opinions, whether upon constitutional or other legal questions, have an irresistible logic and power. It goes near Montpelier, where dwelt that wise and pure President, who was one of the ablest and most practical statesmen of his age. It winds round the noble hill where the Sage of Monticello - patriot, philosopher and statesman - dispensed a lavish hospitality in keeping with his warm heart and liberal ideas. Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Marshall, names second to none in all our national history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
