Excerpt from Address Commemorative of Rufus Choate
Between these extremes all men stand. Far the greater number incline to the. Lower of the two; but there are in every age and place the great men of that time, qnd their place is nearer the summit. Assuredly I need not fear that it will be thought to be the language of flattery or panegyric, if it be said that he whose death we have met this day to com ~memorate had his own place among great men. For he was a great man, if eminent abilities, carefully cultivated and industriously exercised, and occupying a large field of action with great labor and great suc cess, and filling a wide and ever widening sphere with his renown, could constitute a claim to great ness. It is many Weeks since he died; but even now distant echoes still reach us, and tell us that his fame at home has gone abroad, and was welcomed and accepted there as true and genuine fame.
