Excerpt from Historic Sketch of the Monument Erected in Washington City Under the Auspices of the American Institute of Homoeopathy, to the Honor of Samuel Hahnemann, and for the Ornamentation of the National Capital: Dedicated, June 21, 1900With regard to this historic sketch, it may be stated that our late Secretary had gathered together the materials, in the shape of magazine articles, newspaper cuttings and Official reports, from which to prepare the volume, but failing health prevented his making any considerable progress with the work. It therefore devolved upon the remaining members of the Committee to take up the task. The Chairman and Secretary, not having time to devote to the preparation Of the manuscript, prevailed upon the Rev. B. F. Bittinger, D.D., Of Washington, who took part in the dedication, to arrange the matter for publication.The Monument Committee with this assistance now has the honor of presenting this volume, which gives in detail the events Of that day, together with a sketch of the life of Hahnemann, a description Of the Monument and, so far as possible for them to Obtain, a correct list Of subscribers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
