Excerpt from Memorial of the Inauguration of the Statue of Franklin
It was the object of the compiler - however well or ill it has been accomplished - to be faithful to fact, and to ren der impartial justice to all who participated in the memo rable event, or who lent aid to its successful achievement; and if he has failed, through inadequacy, or the meagreness of material, of describing any notable particular, or of giving suflicient prominence to any essential feature of the grand occasion, it is hoped that the deficiency will not be attributed to any intent to undervalue the part taken by any one.
