Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collections of the Maine Historical Society, Vol. 1 It has been the practice from the earliest times for civilized peoples to publicly commemorate important episodes in the lives of those who have made themselves conspicuous by great achievements, not alone for the purpose of showing reverence for the mighty dead, but for the loftier one of keeping bright the memory of virtues worthy to be emulated by the living. It is in accordance with this practice that we have assembled to celebrate the nativity of a man so grand, that the memory of what he wrought for a great race from whose loins we sprang, has survived the mirk and moil of a thousand years. A thousand years! How fared the world in that remote day when Alfred, the anniversary of whose death we commemorate, opened his eyes upon it? Surely it was not the world upon which we look to-day. Then, the activities of men were universally devoted to war, and an able warrior stood for the highest type of manhood. Race strove with race and tribe with tribe marring the face of nature with carnage and desolation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
