Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings in the Celebration at Brattleboro, Vermont, October 21, 1892: Of the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus "For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; There the common-sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe. And the kindlv earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law." Lockshy Hall. The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, on October 21, 1492, hailed from the first as of great import to the nations, has, with the advance of civilization, come to be regarded as an event of such magnitude, when considered with reference to its stimulating and developing influence upon the world of thought and action, as to be worthy of the highest consideration by all civilized people. And with its increasing importance in the thoughts of men, the great discoverer himself receives a growing meed of praise and honor. For notwithstanding the attempts of the iconoclasts to minimize his efforts, and to detract from his personal character, the fact still remains that Columbus made that discovery, the results of which have revolutionized the world, making it possible for a new birth and development of political, social and moral influences, which have been of wonderful beneficence to mankind, and which promise incalculable advantages for the future. In view of all this mighty realization, and this still greater foreshadowing, it was quite natural that as the four hundredth anniversary of the great event approached, thoughtful men should consider how best to commemorate, with suitable honor and dignity, the auspicious day.
