Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration on the Occasion of the National Fast: Delivered Before the Academy of Sacred Music, in the Broadway Tabernacle, New-York, on Friday Evening, May 14, 1841 The introductory remarks of this Address have reference to two things which may be here more distinctly presented. The one is, those widely-circulated notices of the meeting, on the evening of the Fast Day, which were intended to indicate the subject of the Address. This is their form: "Rev. E. N. Kirk will deliver an Eulogy on the Death of the late President Harrison." These notices are alluded to here, both because of the blunder they contain, and for the wrong impression they were calculated to make. The author of the Oration is not responsible for their awkward use of language, in speaking of an Eulogy on Death, where they meant to promise an Eulogy on the President. And moreover, although the personal qualities of that great and good man are incidentally introduced, yet the discourse was in no way designed to be, nor, we think, can it properly be designated, an Eulogy.
