Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the American Peace Society: At Its Annual Meeting, May 26, 1845 Gentlemen of the Society: - Permit me, on appearing before you, in obedience to the call with which I have been honored, to congratulate you on the encouragement afforded by the signs of the times, for perseverance in your benevolent and Christian labors. There was a season within the recollection of many now present, when almost the whole civilized world was one vast camp; when war rolled its bloody surges from the pyramids of Egypt to the Kremlin of Moscow; and human destruction seemed to be the great purpose of Christendom. Our own country became at last involved in the mighty strife; and it may be safely asserted, that in the i year 1813 there was scarcely a Christian state in Europe or America that was not employing its energies and resources in the work of misery, desolation and death. For the last thirty years, the world has been blessed with a general peace, interrupted only by a few brief and partial struggles. Never, probably, within an equal time, have the arts which minister to human comfort advanced with such rapidity, or been so extensively diffused.
