Publisher description
Excerpt from The Principles and Maxims on Which the Security and Happiness of a Republic Depend: A Sermon, Delivered Before the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor, the Council, and the Two Houses Composing the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 29, 1811, Being the Day of General ElectionYet in our closing remarks on this subject, we shall take the liberty, from the present state of our nation, to describe the sacred and moral obligations, which bind both rulers and people, to forget party animosity tobe determined in the defence and salvation of their country; and to know and promote no other interest; than that which will perpetuate its liberties, and in crease its glory. The duties of the day demand some attention to topics of this sort; nor will he, whom you have made your organ, shrink back from the labor, though sensible that a subject lof this nature is extreme. 1y delicate, and however 'carefully touched, will scarce ly exempt innocence and circumspection from blame and censure. It is, in' a word, a theme (to borrow the language of the ancient poet) full of danger and accident, in its discussion you must tread over fires thinly covered with deceitful ashes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
