Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the New York Historical Society: At Its Fortieth Anniversary, 20th November, 1844 Gentlemen of the New York Historical Society: - I will not affect to conceal the emotions of pride, and of humility, with which your invitation has filled me. To be asked to fall in the file of illustrious men who have, from time to time, addressed this body, is a compliment of no common order. To dare the venturesome attempt - to essay to take a place in that brilliant array - may seem to be rash, if not presumptuous. Yet, the peculiarity of the circumstances which must, alone, have induced your unexpected invitation, seems almost to have modified it into a command; and though, had the personal feelings of him who has the high honor now to address you, prevailed, some worthier associate would have occupied the time of his fellow-members on this occasion, the duty you have imposed is too peremptory to be declined, while its execution is attempted with the most unfeigned diffidence. It has been suggested that some reference to the recent investigations of the Historical Agent of this State, in European Archives, may not be inappropriate to the present occasion.
