Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Historical Memento: Representing the Different Scenes of Public Rejoicing; Which Took Place the First of August; In St. James´s and Hyde Parks, London; In Celebration of the Glorious Peace of 1814; And of the Centenary of the Accession of the Illustrious House of Brunswick T On presenting the public with a Graphic Memento of the late Grand National Jubilee, in honour of a most glorious, and (as we trust it will prove) a durable peace, - a few brief observations on the leading events which have effected this happy occurrence may not be deemed inappropriate. It is far from our intention to enter into an historical detail of the scarcely numerable affairs, by sea and land, in which this immortalized country has partaken, only to conquer, - and has thereby raised her national character to the highest and most enviable eminence of human greatness; for neither our time, space, or ability, is equal to prosecute with justice so arduous a task. But now that the dreaded sword is sheathed throughout Europe, and our warriors are returning to their homes with exultation and tranquillity, a cursory record of their gallant deeds, while it consecrates to posterity such achievements as are without a parallel in history, may, however feebly, contribute to cherish our gratitude towards the British heroes, and prove to future ages the consequences which must ever attend a combination of firmness, virtue, and valour. We have at length obtained that happy end, which all men of penetration and sound judgment predicted we should acquire, by an unshaken perseverance in those just principles, which first impelled us to resort to arms.
