Book Description
Excerpt from An Oration on the Moral Grandeur of George Washington, Delivered on the Centennial Anniversary of His Birth Day, February XXII, MDCCCXXXII, at the Request of the Citizens of Portsmouth, N. H This morning completes a century, since the birth of the Father of our country. So preeminently valuable have been his services, and so distinguished his virtues, that the rest of the civilized world, as well as this nation, justly consider him, one of the most finished models of the human race. With him have become identified almost all our important national incidents and benefits, during the past century. Doubtless, to the end of time, will the radiance of his name continue to lighten and cheer the earth. Nor was he only the Father of our country. He was not satisfied with simply laying the foundation of a new empire in this western world, but has also been, under heaven, the source of a large portion of its felicity and renown.
