Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Before the Washington Benevolent Society of Pennsylvania: Delivered in the Hall of the Musical Fund Society, on the 22nd of February, 1827 Ninety-five years since, on the day which has now summoned us together, was born in the county of Westmoreland, in the state of Virginia, one of the younger children of a reputable farmer. When the father of this new-born infant first beheld him, he doubtless fancied that he saw a mere addition made to the mass of human existence; another subject for earthly toils, and cares, and hopes - that was destined briefly to tread the journey of life, and then to die and be forgotten. Had he cherished any other thoughts, they would have been deemed the fond dreams of the parent; not the sober judgment of the man. To every created eye the sight of this infant was the sight of utter helplessness and obscurity; and to the world of men his character and his destiny seemed to be almost as insignificant as the drop that falls from the bucket.
