Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Memorial Volume of the Edwards Family Meeting: At Stockbridge, Mass;, September 6-7, A. D. 1870 Respect for the dead is an instinct of human nature. It is this principle that builds the stately mausoleum, beautifies the costly cemetery, and enshrines the great and the good in the memory of successive ages. It is the same principle that induces the posterity of revered ancestors to gather in places made precious by their presence in times long past. To a mind properly constituted, argument to justify such action is superfluous. The North-American Indian, as he was at the discovery of this country, presents the best type the world has ever seen of human nature in its instinctive developments. Indifference to the graves of his ancestors was a state of mind to which he was a stranger. The burial-places of his tribe were visited with an intensity of reverent emotion inferior only to that evoked by the thought of the Great Spirit.
