Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration Delivered on the Fourth Day of July, 1835: Before the Citizens of Beverly, Without Distinction of Party When our fathers united in resistance to the oppressive measures of the British ministry, a few only of the leading patriots, - and those principally of Massachusetts, - contemplated the establishment of an Independent Government. They were unanimously determined to assert their rights, and to stand or fall in their defence; but the mass of the people desired and expected a reconciliation. There is preserved a letter of Washington, written from Philadelphia, on the ninth of October, 1774, at which place he was in attendance, as a member of the first Revolutionary Congress. It is addressed to Captain McKenzie, an officer of the British army in Boston, with whom Washington had served in the former war. It probably gives the precise state of the feelings of the patriots, both in and out of Congress, with the exception of a very few bold, farreaching, - and I might almost say inspired, - individuals, who went far beyond their age, and knew that separation and independence were inevitable. It contains unquestionably the feelings and opinions of Washington himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
