Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Pitt as the Patron of the American Colonies You doubtless all remember that Robert Burns said of his Epistle to a Young Friend, "Perhaps it may turn out a song, perhaps a sermon." As I am quite sure my production will "turn out a sermon," I have chosen a text which you will find on the west face of the Pillar of Liberty, in these words: Maxime Patrono Pitt. Inscription on Pillar of Liberty. According to the Diary of Dr. Nathaniel Ames, these words were chiseled in the hard granite on the 11th or 12th day of July, 1766. Their author was doubtless Dr. Ames himself, under the advice, however, of the Sons of Liberty, an assocation, or society, whose members were to be found, probably, in all the more important towns of the thirteen American Colonies.
