Description:Excerpt from An Oration Commemorative of the Late Rev. John Holt Rice, D. D: Spoken Before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Hampden Sydney College, at Their Anniversary Meeting, on Thursday the 27th of September, A. D. 1832To commemorate those who have benefited society by their Virtues and talents, is a dictate of duty as Well as an impulse of sentiment. We owe it to them perhaps, to gra tify that love of honorable fame which animated their breasts whilst they lived, and which, we may not unreasonably ima gine, has followed them into a better world. We owe it to ourselves, to show that we have not been insensible to their merits, nor ungrateful for their benefactions. And we owe it to those who are to come after us, to transmit their names adorned with our praises to the latest posterity.It is in this spirit, I may presume, that our Society have delegated me to proclaim in this audience our just and ad miring sense of the exalted worth, and invaluable services, of our departed President. And it is in this spirit that I shall endeavor to discharge the duty assigned me; although I cannot but feel beforehand a painful consciousness that I shall not be able to do any thing like justice to my subject, and that, at the best, I shall only serve, like a broken mirror, to reﬂect some scattered traits of that image which altogether was so admirable, and so divine. In plain words, I shall not even attempt to give you a full delineation of the life, char acter, and services of our lost friend; but only a slight sketch of some points in them, which seem to be, more particularly, proper for our notice on the present occasion.About the PublisherThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
