Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Witherspoon: Proceedings and Addresses at the Laying of the Corner-Stone and at the Unveiling of the Statue of John Witherspoon, in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia Friday, the 20th of October, 1876, was a memorable day in the annals of the Presbyterian Church. On that day a colossal statue of a colossal Presbyterian statesman, patriot and divine was unveiled in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. The event acquires additional importance from the fact that this statue is, so far as known to us, the first statue of a Christian man, as such, yet erected in our Republic. Abroad the tourist sees at Oxford the statues of Cranmer, Ridley and Latimer standing on the spot where their martyr-ashes smoked to heaven. At Kidderminster the statue of Baxter points childhood and old age, the passerby and the musing traveller, to the "Saint´s Everlasting Rest." At Bedford the form of Bunyan reminds the spectator of those twelve years in Bedford jail, and that poor blind child standing by the great dreamer´s side. In Edinburgh one sees the form of Andrew Melvill, who, in a memorable crisis, caught King James by his robes, and said, "Thou God´s silly vassal! There be two kings and two kingdoms in Scotland, King James and Christ Jesus, whose subject James is." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
