Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse Occasioned by the Death of King George II. And the Happy Accession of His Majesty King George III. To the Imperial Throne of Great-Britain: Delivered Jan, 4th, 1761 and Published at the Desire of the West Church and Congregation in Boston, New-England The present unusual and gloomy appearance of the place in which I now stand, may seem the natural presage of a discourse replete with gloomy ideas, with lamentation and mourning. But yet methinks this is a season adapted to awaken various, and even contrary passions in our breasts; a season wherein we almost unavoidably mingle some of the tears of joy with those of sorrow; and wherein wholly to indulge, or wholly to repress either of them, would hardly be innocent; at least not very congruous. On one hand we justly mourn the death of an excellent king, whom every good British subject was habituated to consider rather under the amiable and endearing character of a father, than the more awful one of a sovereign. And where is the heart so hard, so unfeeling, so devoid of all sentiment, as to remain untouch´d, unaffected, at the death of such a king, the common father of his people? What bosom does not heave? What eye is not ready to overflow, on so melancholy an occasion? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
