Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration Delivered in Faneuil Hall Before the City Council and Citizens of Boston: On the One Hundred and Twenty-Fourth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Wednesday, July 4, 1900 Mr. Mayor and Citizens of Boston: The men whom Boston has honored as I am honored to-day have come to us in line unbroken for a hundred and thirty years. The living may not here be named, but counted with the orators of the dead generations are Joseph Warren, John Hancock, John Quincy Adams, Charles Sumner, Edward Everett, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Robert C. Winthrop. If to take up this civic duty were to claim a place by the side of such as these, I had not been here to-day. But the great names which light the roll are the few among the many. Boston has borne famous sons, whose gathered honors repay her teaching, whose filial service rewards her nurture; but to their brethren of humbler life, less gifted than they, or less ambitious, fall those daily tasks and simple duties which, done in love and loyalty, give strength to the city that is our common mother and security to all her days. In the roll of citizens who have answered for Boston on Independence Day the names of the great, of those destined to outlive their times, stand wide apart.
