Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brief History of the New-England Historical and Genealogical Register: Being the Report of the Committee on Publication, Submitted at the Annual Meeting of the New-England Historic, Genealogical Society, Jan 5, 1856 Mr. Albert H. Hoyt submitted the following report: The Historical and Genealogical Register for the year 1875 has been regularly issued. The last October number contained six orations, viz.: of the Hon. Henry Armitt Brown, delivered in Carpenter´s Hall, Philadelphia, September 5, 1874, on the centenary of the meeting of the first Continental Congress, in that place; of Abner C. Goodell, Jr., Esq., before the Essex Institute, on the one hundredth anniversary of the meeting of the Provincial Legislature of Massachusetts in Salem, October 5, 1774; of the Hon. Richard II. Dana, LL. D., on the one hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Lexington; of George William Curtis, LL. D., on the centenary of the Battle at Concord; of the Hon. Charles Devens, Jr., in commemoration of the Battle of Bunker Hill, delivered on the 17th of June, 1875; and of the Rev. Andrew P. Peabody, D. D., LL. D., on July 3, 1875 , the centenary of Washington´s taking command of the Continental Army in Cambridge. The orations were printed from revised copies furnished for this purpose by their respective authors, and with the consent of the municipalities and associations, or committees, under whose auspices they were delivered. To these are annexed very full and carefully revised reports of the other proceedings at these commemorations, and several other papers relating to the same events. These discourses, proceedings and papers have been also published in a separate volume, entitled: "Centennial Orations Commemorative of the Opening Events of the American Revolution," to which is prefixed an excellent portrait of General Joseph Warren, engraved by W. H. Smith from an original painting by Copley. This volume contains one hundred and seventy-eight compactly printed pages, octavo. The edition is limited to two hundred and fifty copies. Of the orations themselves, it seems not too much to say, that whether regarded as eloquent and forcible expressions of patriotic wisdom, as lucid and philosophical expositions of the chief operating causes and motives of the Revolution, or as vivid and accurate narratives of important events and interesting incidents, they will not suffer in comparison with similar discourses in any age or language.
