Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered at the Celebration by the New York Historical Society: May 20, 1863, of the Two Hundredth Birth Day, of Mr. William Bradford, Who Introduced the Art of Printing Into the Middle Colonies of British America For many years past the idea had been entertained by members of the New York Historical Society that some public commemoration should be made in this State of the character and services of William Bradford, by whom the Art of Printing had been introduced into New York, and indeed into the Middle Colonies of British America generally. Little was known by the publick at large of his Life; but every incident which had come down to us, served to reveal a character of much more than common accomplishment arid strength. Yet the name of this remarkable person, while indeed it could never be forgotten, seemed, for a time, destined to become a matter of dim traditionary record; and in another century might be still further loft to the publick knowledge and regard. The Bradford Club, established in this city a few years ago, by a small Association of tasteful and opulent lovers of literature, was the first indication that the people of this great Metropolis were not unmindful of the blessings which, through Bradford´s efforts, the Art of Printing had bestowed upon us; blessings, indeed, like other gifts of a benignant Providence, not always rightly enjoyed; often indeed abused; sometimes even, through our own passions and depravity, turned into calamities themselves; but blessings not the left, if used as the author of them designed that they should be, to the improvement of our minds and edification of our hearts. There seemed too, indeed, in our very obligations to the National Fame, to be something of a publick kind due from the body which, in this great city of New York, represented more especially the Historical instincts and duties of the Country.
