Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the New-England Society of Brooklyn, December 21, 1849 Mr. President, and Gentlemen Of The New-England Society: The embarkation for Holland, of Robinson and his associates - the Delft-haven parting - the voyage of the May-Flower, and the landing of her pilgrim-heroes - are events that, long since, took their place among the immortalities of history. The orator and the poet, - though they have brought to their theme the power of a lofty eloquence, and the sweet charm of numbers, can scarcely be said to have heightened the sublimity, or to have deepened the pathos, of that simple, yet wondrous tale. Where, indeed, can the New-Englander go, and not find some association, that recalls the deeds and virtues of his ancestors? Where is the ocean-isle - where that nook of earth, so remote, or so secluded, that the story has not reached it? The assembly, to which, and in behalf of which, I speak, is made up, to a great extent, by natives of New-England.
