Inhaltsangabe

A centennial tribute to George Washington, delivered by Lincoln Lodge No. 3, F. and A. M., in a Maine town in 1800. This historical address reflects on Washington’s legacy, the births of American ideals, and the role of civic and fraternal societies in shaping the young nation.

In these pages, the speaker recalls the first National ideals that guided the Revolution, the challenges of creating a lasting union, and the responsibilities of citizens to honor public virtue. It ties Washington’s life to the Constitution, the rights of free people, and the enduring pursuit of liberty, with attention to the moral questions surrounding slavery and national unity.

- How Washington was seen as a model of public duty and moral leadership.
- The connection between the Declaration, the Constitution, and Maine’s own early civic traditions.
- Reflections on taxation, representation, and the dangers of faction in a growing republic.
- The role of monuments, churches, and fraternal orders in commemorating national history.

Ideal for readers of American history, political thought, and the early years of the United States, especially those interested in how public memory intersects with civic institutions.
