A Historical Discourse Delivered In Norwich Connecticut September 7 1859 At The Bi Centennial Celebration Of The Settlement Of The Town PDF Download

Excerpt from Historical Discourse: Delivered in Norwich, Connecticut, September 7, 1859, at the Bi-Centennial Celebration of the Settlement of the Town Gentlemen and Ladies, Sons and Daughters of Norwich: - We are met to review in one brief hour the record of two hundred years. The task assigned to me, though simple, is not easy, and your sympathy with the theme must excuse the incompleteness of the story I shall tell. The preacher, the orators and the poet appointed to address you, leave me the humbler office of a chronicler; and I therefore make no apology for dwelling chiefly on facts, assured that others will present those poetical, patriotic and religious reflections, which this occasion appropriately calls forth.
