Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from One Hundredth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and Independence Square in Philadelphia: As a Monument of Memorials, Sacred and Forever To the Select and Common Councils of the City of Philadelphia: Gentlemen: Allow me to present for your consideration a manuscript paper read before a meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, September 12, 1870, being a plan for making Independence Square and buildings as named therein a monument of memorials forever, to honor the Declaration of Independence, the patriots of the Revolution, the framers of our Constitution and Government, and the fathers of our country, accompanied with a plan for an association of a national character for carrying out the former and perpetuating it forever. I have also drawn a pen-sketch for a diploma of membership to be made simply elegant, whereby hundreds of thousands of our fellow-countrymen will become members, which will, in a simple, efficient way, produce ample funds to do all that is named or needed in the most efficient and perfect manner, besides placing a fund at interest, the income of which will pay all subsequent annual expenses of every kind; so that no subscriptions will be required, nor an entrance fee be needed, nor will the cost be hardly felt by anybody. The people will do all, and the committees and directors of the association can promptly go on with business and meet all expense without delay. Numerous families and individuals in Pennsylvania and other States, who have heard the outlines of this design, give it such approval as to warrant the belief that it will be promptly accepted and supported by all our people throughout all our States and Territories.
