Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from An Eulogium on De Witt Clinton: Late Governor of the State of New-York, Delivered at the Request of a Joint Committee of the Medical Society and College of Physicians and Surgeons, in the Hall of Columbia College, on Friday, 11th July, 1828 There are occasions, when, whether we will or not, our language must be the language of sincerity, and if we are properly instructed, the language of truth also. There are times when the heart by the very constitution of its being, is prevented from making any unhallowed compromise with interest, and when prospective calculations of benefit cease to influence either our opinions or our actions. When called upon to do homage to the dead, the soul recognizes all the solemnity of the service, and will permit no feeling foreign to the duty in which it is engaged, to detract from the melancholy satisfaction which its reverence is calculated to inspire. The present time is emphatically such a season. We have convened to pay our tribute of respect to the illustrious dead, and to acknowledge those obligations to his memory, which neither we nor our children can discharge in any other manner, than by a frank avowal of our insolvency. Death in any form, and under any circumstances is a subject of serious contemplation; the word itself affects our senses with a chilling influence, which not even a familiarity with its real appearance can completely overcome.
