Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bryant Celebration by the Chicago Literary Club: November 3, 1874 The Chicago Literary Club, numbering among its members many ardent admirers of William Cullen Bryant, desired to add its testimony of respect and esteem to those which were to greet the completion of the poet´s eightieth year. It was accordingly unanimously resolved, at a full meeting of its members held October 19th, 1874, that the Club celebrate the occasion by a dinner and appropriate literary exercises. The evening of the birthday, November 3rd, 1874, was chosen for the celebration. The Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements was requested to send invitations to be present to Mr. Bryant, and to his brothers, Messrs. Arthur and John H. Bryant, residing at Princeton, Illinois. Other friends and admirers of the poet were also invited to attend. At the time appointed, the guests of the Club, with its officers and members, assembled at the Club rooms in the Sherman House, and at nine o´clock moved in procession to the dining-room. The President of the Club, the Rev. Robert Collyer, presided at the table. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
