Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address: Delivered Before the Senate and House of Representatives and Invited Guests on February 12, 1901 by the Hon. George Frisbie Hoar in Response to an Invitation of the General Court Mr. President, Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen: - Your invitation comes to me alike as a high honor and a command not to be disobeyed. I seem, as I speak to this assembly, to be speaking to the Commonwealth herself, here in her stately palace, in gracious bodily presence. To a son of Massachusetts there can be no earthly honor greater than that she can confer, and no mandate save that of the country alone which can speak with so great authority. It may seem, at the first thought, to have something of disrespect in it, what, after all, is the highest token of respect, that I have not for a moment stopped to consider whether what I have to say shall please or displease. The faithful servant does his master most honor when he gives fearless even if unwelcome counsel. The gracious master honors that servant above all others to whose good will and affection he permits the freest and the plainest speech. This day has a double significance. It is the birthday of our great martyr-President. It is near the beginning of your first session in the new century. This house, I suppose, is the oldest legislative body on earth representing a free people, save only the House of Commons and perhaps the Virginia House of Burgesses.
