Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogium on Thomas Jefferson: Delivered Before the American Philosophical Society, on the Eleventh Day of April 1827 Mr President and Gentlemen of the Philosophical Society, We are assembled to render the customary honours to the late president of our society, Thomas Jefferson. These are melancholy, yet not unavailing duties. The object of them lies far beyond the reach of our applause, but the homage which cannot benefit the dead, may console and instruct the living. And rarely have higher honours been conferred on any human being than were recently bestowed on Jefferson and his illustrious companion in fame and in death, when a great people whom they had long served, forgetting all the collisions which once embittered the strife of power, crowded round their open graves with so subdued and mingled a sorrow, that for the first time perhaps in the history of the world, the regrets of a whole nation were blended in the funeral train of their rival chieftains.
