Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address at the Funeral of Hon. Roger Sherman Baldwin: February 23, 1863 The shadow of a great bereavement is upon us. A strong pillar of our community and of our commonwealth is broken. One who has long been universally respected and admired for his eminent power, worth, and usefulness; who has borne the highest offices in the gift of our State, both within its own sphere and in its relations to the National Government, and borne them with excellent ability and integrity; one who has for many years been in the foremost rank of that high and honorable profession which is employed in ascertaining and administering justice; one who, in the sacred relations of domestic life, was regarded with tender and reverent affection by wife, and children, and children´s children, and a wide circle of kindred - has passed away; and his lifeless body is now before us, ready for the last earthly resting place. And he has passed away unexpectedly, creating the general feeling of surprise and disappointment, as well as of grief. For, though he had reached his threescore years and ten, we did not realize it; and none would have thought it, who observed his erect form, his firm, quick step, his undimmed eye, his unabated natural force, and especially the fullness of his power in the services of his profession. His death seems like the fall of a star from its zenith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
