Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered in Salem, July 4, 1826, at the Request of the Town, on the Completion of a Half Century Since the Declaration of American Independence Fellow-citizens, It is with unfeigned diffidence and a perfect reliance upon your candor, that I appear on this occasion to speak of the origin, the conduct, and the results of the great event, which this day commemorates. There is a wonderful sublimity in nature; but there is a moral sublimity in human history still more affecting. The lofty mountain, pillaring the arch of heaven; the majestic river, bursting from the unsearched forest, and traversing a continent in its resistless march; the boundless ocean, swelling and frowning in its anger; the volcano, shooting up its flames upon the darkness of midnight, and pouring down its sides its torrents of liquid fire; the immeasurable expanse of heaven, peopled with worlds, that no imagination can number, are objects which overwhelm the mind.
