Excerpt from A Tribute to the Memory of Washington Irving: An Address, And, a Sermon
An Address by Hon. Edward Everett before the Massachusetts Historical Society. Delivered at Boston, Dec. 15, 1859.
I cordially concur in the resolutions which Mr. Longfellow has submitted to the Society. They do no more than justice to the merits and character of Mr. Irving, as a man and as a writer; and it is to me, sir, a very pleasing circumstance that a tribute like this to the Nestor of the prose writers of America - so just and so hap pily expressed - should be paid by the most distinguished of our American poets.
If the year 1769 is distinguished, above every other year of the last century, for the number of eminent men to which it gave birth, that of 1859 is thus far signalized in this century for the number of bright names which it has taken from us; and surely that of Washington Irving may be accounted with the brightest on the list.
