Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration Delivered Before the City Authorities of Boston: On the Fourth of July, 1860; Together With the Speeches at the Dinner in Faneull Hall, and Other Ceremonies of the Celebration of the Eighty Fourth Anniversary of American Independence Eighty-four years ago this day, the Anglo-American Colonies, acting by their delegates to the Congress at Philadelphia, formally renounced their allegiance to the British Crown and declared their Independence. We are assembled, Fellow-Citizens, to commemorate the Anniversary of that great day, and the utterance of that momentous Declaration. The hand that penned its mighty sentences, and the tongue which, with an eloquence that swept all before it, sustained it on the floor of the Congress, ceased from among the living, at the end of half a century, on the same day, almost at the same hour, thirty-four years ago. The last survivor of the signers, Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, closed his venerable career six years later; - and of the generation sufficiently advanced in life to take a part in public affairs on the fourth of July, 1776, how few are living to hail this eighty-fourth anniversary! They are gone, but their work remains. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
