An Address Delivered At The Request Of The Committee Of Arrangements For Celebrating The Anniversary Of Independence PDF Download

Excerpt from An Oration on the Fiftieth Anniversary of American Independence: Delivered and Published at the Request of the Committee of Arrangement in Dorchester, for the Celebration of the 4th of July 1826 We have arrived, this day, fellow citizens, at a most interesting period in the history of our country. We have reached an elevation, from which we can look, both backwards and forwards, with admiring gratitude and exulting hope. Half a century has rolled away, since thirteen feeble colonies of Great Britain declared themselves Free and Independent States. The circumstances, under which this successful declaration was made, cannot, too frequently, be brought to your recollection. It was not an ebullition of party strife that separated the colonies from the mother country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
