Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Before the Members of the Taunton Lyceum, Delivered July 4, 1831 The indulgence of my fellow citizens is great, I know, and I am compelled to draw upon it to the full extent of my credit. It is impossible for me, at present, if ever, to come before you with an elaborated and finished address, - systematically arranged, with rounded periods, and sentences, which have been polished like a warriors weapons, until they shine, and flash, and glitter and dazzle; but I must approach you in my every day dress, and shew myself as I am, "a plain blunt man, who speaks right on, and tells you that, which you yourselves do know." In short, my friends, I have not had time to prepare for this occasion; but if you will permit me to proceed in my desultory manner, you may pick out some truths from a mass of crudities. I have a well founded claim on your indulgence, for you well know that in another place during the preceding month, I have been constantly, strenuously employed in doing your business; I appreciated the confidence manifested so repeatedly, too highly and too gratefully to neglect that business.
