[EAN: 9781334412226], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Language: English . This book usually ship within 10-15 business days and we will endeavor to dispatch orders quicker than this where possible. Brand New Book. Excerpt from An Oration, Pronounced Before the Inhabitants of Boston, July the Fourth, 1836, in Commemoration of the Sixtieth Anniversary of American Independence It is to be attributed in a great measure to the ignorance of the people, to their want of intelligence upon political affairs, that no constitutional government has yet succeeded in any of the countries of Europe. The people of those countries do not want courage or resolution. They want information. Bloody and desperate have been the con?icts between pat riots and tyrants, but the people have wanted skill to retain the power they have several times acquired. Their ill-di rected efforts have, in some instances, only served to strengthen their bondage and to rivet their chains. In relation to our own country, it may not be too much to assert, that all the public spirit, all the bravery of the people of these colonies, would never have accomplished the Amer ican Revolution, if that public spirit and bravery had not been accompanied and assisted by a high degree of intelli gence and wisdom. It was this sagacity, this wisdom, which enabled our statesmen to direct the storm of Revolution, and finally to compose the elements, little less stormy, of confu sion and anarchy which were likely to succeed. It was this intelligence on the part of the mass of the people, that taught them the advantages of Union, that taught them the prudence, by a constitution and laws, of imposing some restraint even on liberty itself, in order that it might be a power to do good, and not a license to do wrong.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from An Oration, Pronounced Before the Inhabitants of Boston, July the Fourth, 1836, in Commemoration of the Sixtieth Anniversary of American Independence We come not here, chained as it were to the car of a conqueror, to celebrate his victories. We come not here to render a cold tribute of respect to a custom of our predeces sors. We come here, from the voluntary impulse of our own feelings, to exhibit our devotion to the cause of freedom, and our gratitude to God, who has given us a prosperity un equalled in the history of the world. And, although, familiar with liberty as with the air we breathe, we may sometimes for a moment, forget its value, yet dead must be the soul to every generous emotion, cold and selfish must be the heart, which is not touched by the enthusiasm, which the recur rence of this day is fitted to excite. Laying aside, then, all bitterness of party feeling, all sectional and local differences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
