Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration: Delivered Before the City Council and Citizens of Boston; On the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1876 Again and again, Mr. Mayor and Fellow Citizens, in years gone by, considerations or circumstances of some sort, public or private, - I know not what, - have prevented my acceptance of most kind and flattering invitations to deliver the Oration in this my native city on the Fourth of July. On one of those occasions, long, long ago, I am said to have playfully replied to the Mayor of that period, that, if I lived to witness this Centennial Anniversary, I would not refuse any service which might be required of me. That pledge has been recalled by others, if not remembered by myself, and by the grace of God I am here to-day to fulfil it. I have come at last, in obedience to your call, to add my name to the distinguished roll of those who have discharged this service in unbroken succession since the year 1783, when the date of a glorious act of patriots was substituted for that of a dastardly deed of hirelings, - the 4th of July for the 5th of March, - as a day of annual celebration by the people of Boston.
