Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Struggle for Neutrality in America: An Address Delivered Before the New York Historical Society, at Their Sixty-Sixth Anniversary, December 13, 1870 You have honored me with an invitation to occupy a position which has been successively held by many of the most eminent men of your own State, and also of other States. I accept it with distrust, not less of my ability to reach the high standard attained by them, than by reason of my disuse of the habit of public speaking. It is not easy for one long obliged to school himself to the rule of saying as little as possible to be heard out of doors, to make an immediate transition, and expose with freedom all that he may think upon a given subject. Yet I confess I know of no stronger temptation that could have been offered to me to make the effort than this, as well on account of the kind feeling that appears to have prompted the call, as of the legitimate opening it affords to the indulgence of my favorite line of speculation. I purpose, therefore, without further preface, to enter at once upon my subject - to devote the brief period to which I hope to confine my draught on your attention to the consideration of a single topic in the past history of the country.
