Excerpt from Ceremonies: Attending the Unveiling of the Statue of Benjamin Franklin, June 14, 1899, Presented to the City of Philadelphia

This volume is prepared as a memorial of the presentation to the city of Philadelphia of the statue of Benjamin Franklin, by Mr. Justus C. Straw-bridge, of Philadelphia. His attention was directed to the fact that there did not exist in the city of Philadelphia a fitting monument to its greatest citizen. While we cannot claim Franklin as a Philadelphian by birth, it is remembered that he came to us unheralded by fame, cast his lot with our people, and here took his chances in the fortunes of the world - which seem to have dealt generously with him. It was with us that he achieved his great success in many fields of activity. We all know of his devotion to the interests of the city of Philadelphia; of the conspicuous services he rendered the Colony, and subsequently State, of Pennsylvania; the patriotic service he rendered the country during its period of War for Independence; and afterward, in the pacific and quiet upbuilding of the Republic.
