An Oration Delivered Before The Union And Literary Debating Society July 4 1838 PDF Download

Excerpt from Oration, Delivered July 4th, 1836, Before the Social Union Society of Amherst College We are no longer bound to pay undivided praise to little old Attica. Though we acknowledge her Athena, and promise always to call her Queen in letters and the arts; yet the world looks to us for models m erecting the temples of liberty. A modern Greece has sprung from the wilds of America, not without her heroic exploits, not without her scenes of Epic. Grandeur, not without her adornments of civilization. While therefore we ring our changes on Marathon and Thermopyle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
