Excerpt from An Eulogium, Commemorative of the Exalted Virtues of His Excellency Roger Griswold, Late Governour of This State: Written and Delivered at the Request of the General Assembly, on the 29th of October, 1812We are now assembled to offer another tribute of 4 respect to his memory. The place, the assemblage, the occasion, the solemn display of military mourning just now witnessed, and the still more solemn address to the throne of grace, conspire to arrest our whole attention, and fill us with sacred awe.An affection better felt than described for the den ceased while living, and for his memory since his death, has induced me to appear in this place, and to attempt a faint eulogy of his numerous virtues.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
