Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diplomatic Services of George William Erving: Communicated to the Massachusetts Historical Society At a stated meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, October 10, 1889, after other proceedings, the President, Dr. George E. Ellis, said that the Society was looking forward to its One Hundredth Anniversary, and that there was a gentleman present whose membership covered precisely half of the hundred years. The Hon. Robert C. Winthrop then said: - If I had followed my impulses, Mr. President, instead of yielding to my discretion, I should have risen at once, after you had finished your introductory remarks, and should not have waited for you to call on me now. I could have added little, indeed, to your tribute to our deceased associate Mr. Amory; but I would gladly have united in doing honor to the memory of President Woolsey, - one of the most accomplished and valuable men whose names have adorned our roll, - and of Dr. Samuel Austin Allibone, whose "Dictionary of Authors" may be counted among the herculean labors of modern bibliographical literature. Meanwhile you have kindly alluded to me as one whose membership of this Society covers a full half of the hundred years of its existence, so soon to be completed and celebrated. It is true. Sir, that I was elected in the month of October, 1839, and that this may therefore be regarded as the fiftieth anniversary of my admission to this oldest Historical Society in our land. I need not add that there is no one left, except myself, of the Resident Members of that day, as I have been so often designated as "the venerable Senior Member" ever since the death of Mr. Savage, fifteen or sixteen years ago. Our distinguished historian Bancroft was, indeed, one of our Resident Members when I was chosen, but his removal from the State not long afterwards compelled us to transfer his name to our Honorary roll.
