Excerpt from Eulogy Upon the Hon. George Mifflin Dallas: Delivered Before the Bar of Philadelphia, February 11, 1865 A Large meeting of the members of the Bar was held in the District Court room, January 3d, 1865, for the purpose of paying a tribute to the memory of the late Hon. George M. Dallas. Most of the distinguished members of the Bar were present, and the occasion was very impressive. Chief Justice Woodward presided, and Benjamin H. Brewster, Esq., Hon. Richard Vaux, and Hon. William A. Porter acted as Secretaries. Immediately after the organization, Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll delivered the following brief eulogy: "It is not a rare event to lose a distinguished member of the Bar. It is not more rare to assemble and express sincere regret for his departure. The feeling of the companions of years who have witnessed his merits in frequent display, is keen and deeply expressed. None can be insensible to the event of the separation, or willing and able to withhold an expression of sympathy and sorrow. When an event in itself not extraordinary calls for extraordinary marks of regret and distress, and receives the expression of them, without a dissenting thought, and only echoes with its own responsive throbbing of a feeling heart the sentiment engendered spontaneously, and firmly and cordially uttered, the occurrence itself or the party mourned, must have been entitled to more than every day sorrow, or even sorrow which only at distant intervals sheds its tears. We are survivors of one who united in himself properties which would have been rare if separate, but are freely acknowledged when combined in the same individual. In giving utterance to the sentiments of esteem, respect and affection, which were welcome to those who were intimate with the late George M. Dallas, it is scarcely possible to speak with calmness or without danger of saying what to those who had not the strictest right to sympathy, would appear extravagant or unjust. And yet where shall we look for merit most undoubted, and sentiments always pure, if not in him? The members of the Philadelphia Bar have learned with deep affliction the decease of George Mifflin Dallas, who was long their esteemed and admired associate and cherished friend. It has become a duty not less certain than painful, but mingled with sentiments not unwelcome in their character, to unite in the expression of condolence, regret and sorrow. The melancholy event cannot be recalled, for it was the will of Heaven. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
