Book Description
Excerpt from Souvenir and Official Programme of the Centennial Celebration of George Washington's Inauguration as First President of the United States The Constitution. i. Tyrant winter's icy fetters, wherewith Alpine heights are belted, Under God's free summer sunshine fall away. Slowly, surely as the season comes, his massive chains are melted, And a single drop is born of every ray; Then confluent in their currents sing the little brooklets hurrying To unite and form a torrent in its power, Rushing headlong down the mountain, every opposition burying, Growing stronger and yet stronger hour by hour, Till at last their force is gathered in the broad and placid river Flowing noiselessly and steadily along, Messenger of peace and plenty from the glorious All-giver, Though it moves without a roar, without a song. II. So, in genesis of nations swells the human tide forever Of resistance to the wrongs on which men brood, Trickling first, then drop by drop of individual endeavor, Finding volume till there falls a mighty flood. Strong enough to move a thousand mills if Titans could but store it, Making chasms out of each and every crack, Sweeping many an ancient barrier from the course that lies before it, Leaving chaos - but a pathway - in its track; Then its violence is swallowed in a People's peaceful yearning For respect which only dignity can draw, And the Freedom-loving spirit, noisy effervescence spurning, Finds its triumph in the fixed domain of Law. III. Fitly we commemorate with stirring songs of exultation Revolution's call to arms, our bells all ring, Peal of cannon, burst of fireworks, brings to mind the Declaration, Which renounced allegiance to Britain's King, But the birth of statehood in our peerless written Constitution Calls for heartfelt paeans of deeper music now. That we see in it the final unimpeached and sure solution Of the governmental problem, all allow. Thence arose the system under which a proud and fearless nation Swears to guarantee the weakest in his right; Hymns of praise unto Jehovah dedicate our celebration, The centennial of a dawn that has no night!

Book Description
Excerpt from Souvenir of the Centennial Celebration of Washington's Inauguration: Held in New York City, April 29th and 30th, 1889 From the balcony of the hall that stood where the statue now is, the Declaration of Independence was first read to the citizens of New York; the Continental Congress sat here in its closing days, and here the first Federal Congress assembled. America offered no place more becoming and more honorably identified than this with the history of American liberty. The scene around is marvellously changed by the flight of years and modern progress, from the colonial, the provincial, the revolutionary city. The street is transformed from the resort of fashion, the seat of government, the modest and quiet residence of merchants, statesmen and diplomatists, which was the Wall street in the days of our forefathers. Then it was the social and political heart of a small and struggling community; now it is the financial nerve centre of America. The bustling, roaring street is but a picture painted over. Under the kaleidoscopic characters of the maelstrom of speculative life and of eager trade constantly traced upon the pavements of the modern metropolis, lies the undimmed and indelible patriotic record of old New York.
