Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet with string binding. Small piece of string bound about center near the spine. 5 3/4" x 9." Thirty-two pages, complete. Appendix on Pages 23-32. Pages are clean and intact overall but have moderate age toning, darkening on front and back, slight wrinkling and bumping at the corners. A Very Good copy. This is a transcription of a speech that was originally given by Reverend George Putnam on the occasion of the passing of Henry A. S. Dearborn. Putnam gave the speech on September 3, 1851 before the city government and citizens of Roxbury, Massachusetts. Henry A. S. Dearborn (1783-1851) was an American lawyer, soldier, and politician. He served as a United States Representative from Massachusetts from 1831-1833 and the 2nd Mayor of Roxbury from 1847-1851. In his address, Putnam gives a thoughtful eulogy in honor of the late Dearborn. He acknowledges the imperfection of man and says no individual is an exemplar of all virtues. However, he implores his listeners to have an "eye for what is beautiful and noble in human character, wherever it appears, in whatever forms, in whatever connections. Putnam appears to say that human virtue ought to be recognized wherever it manifests in an individual even if they are flawed in other areas. He interweaves this perspective with what he says is a Christian duty to "honor all men." He proceeds to commemorate Dearborn and gives a brief biographical sketch about him. He highlights his industriousness and ability to plan for long-term goals. Putnam commends Dearborn for his good communication skills and various public works projects that were made for the "public good." For example, Putnam brings attention to Dearborn's involvement with the Horticultural Society and how he helped shape New England's horticultural industry. Putnam also describes Dearborn as having a thirst for wholesome knowledge and praises him for being unworldly, a devout Christian, an appreciator of nature, being content with few material belongings, and being helpful and considerate toward others. The Appendix includes brief transcripts of dispatches relating to the passing of Dearborn, memorial services, and Putnam's address.…
