Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Annual Discourse Delivered Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, November 19, 1828 Gentlemen of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, The retrospect of individual life, is enjoined by the precepts of religion, and by the cold calculations of philosophy. While Christianity directs each of us, to look back upon his past career, distinguishing its folly and its wisdom with the keen perceptions of experience, the obvious dictates of mere worldly interest, suggest our future progress from the results of the past. Social communities feel the utility of self-examination, so far as it can be applied to their condition, and upon a still broader scale, nations acknowledge the authority of the same law, in their domestic policy, and practically submit to, and are controlled by it, in their foreign intercourse. There is something invigorating and grateful in the setting apart of certain periods, for the appropriate acknowledgement of interesting events. Individuals feel an innocent pleasure, in the celebration of their birth-days. Communities derive profit and edification from stated commemorations, whether of well fought battles, won in the cause of liberty, or of powerful displays of generous patriotism, manifested in the civil administration of the state.
