Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Memory of Robert C Winthrop The first thought which occurred to me when I learned of the death of Robert C. Winthrop was the great Eulogist has surrendered, and all the scholars of the English and French speaking nations of the world owe his memory a return in kind. Webster and Everett, Choate and Phillips were his rivals in popular oratory; Bancroft and Prescott, Ellis and Frothingham, Parkman and Motley were his rivals as historians; Story and Quincy, Holmes and Lowell, vied with him in graceful and courteous table talk and postprandial eloquence: but I know of no record of any man who has had such opportunities and who has so perfectly satisfied the hopes and tender anxieties of relatives and friends in pronouncing fitting eulogies upon the great dead of America. Nor has he been the eulogist of Americans alone. Connected by blood with some of the noblest families in England he has, since 1847, been acquainted with the foremost men of Great Britain and France, and as President of the Massachusetts Historical Society and chief trustee of George Peabody he has told the story of most of the great men who have been gathered among the stars for the last fifty years.
