Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tribute to the Life and Public Services of George William Curtis: Read Before the American Social Science Association, at Saratoga, September 8, 1893 We come in obedience to the dictates of our hearts, in the acknowledgment of a personal duty, and in the observance of a beautiful custom - a custom coincident with the tears shed at the first grave - to pay a tribute to the memory of our friend. And although it is difficult to say anything wholly new concerning him, we may also ask if it is yet full time to tell what manner of man he altogether was? "Many places have already spoken his eulogy," more perhaps, I hazard the opinion, than in times past have given up the hour, to trace the lines along which his character was developed: to make more distinct and clear to our apprehension his labors, the habits of his daily life, the charming qualities of his personal presence, the delights of his companionship, the even and unsurpassed high level and elevated tone of his writings as a journalist, his scholarship, his grace of manner, his sincerity in action, his great common sense, his iron will and personal courage, giving him rightfully his place among the men of history who dared to take the responsibility upon rare occasions, when no one else could speak the word; to a consideration of the purity of his literary style, his love for the people to whom the sovereignty of our country was long since and originally dedicated, his love of art, books, music, nature, of little children, his respect for his neighbors, his devotion to the cause of education, and to the effort to bring in an era of purer politics and wiser laws and their administration, of all these conceded virtues all of which were his, I hazard the opinion, more has been written and said since the last sad day when they laid him to rest forever, than has been written or said of any other private American citizen during or before the period in which he lived in our American Republic.
