Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Celebration of the Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Robert Burns: January 25th, 1859 It is an unique feature of our republicanism that, however humble may be the origin of effort, its promoters for local or general good invariably find encouragement in their operations from men whose approbation is a safe endorsement of true value. It has been so with the Burns Club of Boston, which was constituted nine years, ago. It originated among a few persons whose retired, position in society afforded them no pretence, beyond their, own gratification, in their own simple way, of a feeling which taught them that the commemorating the genius - the intellectual example - the freedom of mind and action - the patriotic independence - the nobility of soul and sentiment, and their undying expression by one of their brotherhood in humility, was a virtue. The advent of the Club was no sooner known than the mighty of mind,, the good, generous, and influential, voluntarily rallied around its purpose, and gave it strength and reputation far beyond what its originators had ever contemplated - and they were not destitute of any proper enthusiasm. Every year gave it renewed influence in the number and social standing of its members; and now, when it has overcome its Ninth, and most marked. Anniversary Festival, the Club can boast of between two and three hundred names on its roll of men whom any association might own with pride. There has never been any national, sectional, or other bar to membership. To be a true admirer of Robert Burns has ever been the foremost qualification; and the uninterrupted harmony of the Association, from its inception to the present hour, has proved that this single qualification brings in its train all other essentials of good membership.
