Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 72 This brief, temperate, and apparently well-pondered eulogy, pronounced in the Senate of the United States by the great orator and statesman of Massachusetts, upon the character of General Taylor, late President of the United States, between the death-bed and the grave, must have accorded with the solemn feeling then prevailing, not only in that body and throughout the capitol, but also throughout the nation. At that time, though hardly a day had elapsed since the illustrious deceased had closed his life, much of that nation had become aware of the event, and was reflecting deeply upon its consequences. The body politic, by the extraordinary application of scientific improvements to the diffusion of intelligence, had then a quickness of perception, a power of rapid communication, that likened it somewhat to the body human. Through the wonder-workings of this power, the whole country, even before the remains of the dead were entombed at Washington, throbbed almost simultaneously with the same pulsations of regret and sympathy. It was as if the heart had sent forth a strong impulse, which pervaded, with electric celerity, the whole body. It was a fitting time to exert, in such a manner, such a power.
