Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address: Delivered at Philadelphia, on the 19th of October, 1876, the Day Set Apart for Memorial Exercises, on the Part of Maryland at the Centennial Exhibition Amid the silence of great woods, along with the leaves among which it nestled in the summer prime, the future monarch of the forest, wrapped in his tiny shell, drops to the ground as lightly as the footfall of a squirrel; but earth and Air feel the shock in the rooted majesty of a thousand years. So fell the seed of English liberty upon the virgin soil of the new world. In contemplating its marvellous growth and development, no feature in its history strikes the student with more interest and indeed awe, than the long period during which the ground was permitted to lie fallow before the seed was sown. The close of the 15th century found England in possession of the greater part of the North American continent by the right of discovery, a title then everywhere recognized among nations. But Henry VII. had long been laid away in his beautiful chapel. Henry VIII., after a long reign of mingled glory and shame, had followed him. The bloody hands of Mary had mouldered into dust, and Elizabeth was sitting well-balanced upon her throne, before the waters of the North Atlantic, first vexed by the adventurous keel of the Cabots, darkened with the shadow of an English sail.
