Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration: At the Celebration of the City´s Semi-Centennial, Thursday, the Twenty-First of August But the city whose anniversary day we are observing with so much warmth and delight was not one of opportunity´s foster children. From the days of the wilderness settlement to this proud anniversary influences from without have contributed but little to our progress and stability. Whatever Concord is, that she is because of her children who have toiled and weaved through succeeding generations. What Concord might have been had Massachusetts wealth and energy along in the forties moved a score of miles farther up the Merrimack, we who listen to the voices of the rapids at Sewall´s Falls and Garvin´s may only surmise. Whether Concord has lost or gained by her lack of interest in the music of the loom and the spindle is not a vital inquiry at this time. Anniversaries, of all occasions, should be exempt from ill conceived comparisons and profitless lament. Let us then not speculate over what might have been. Let us all clearly understand that the best and most enduring civic growth is the growth that represents the sifted grain and the chosen soil, and notwithstanding the harvest may be small, it shall be stout in fiber and defined in character. In commemorating our city´s semi-centennial it would seem almost imperative to go back to the early years of the eighteenth century and review our beginnings. That the retrospect will afford pleasure I have no doubt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
