Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Declaration of Independence, and the Effects of It: An Oration Delivered Before the Citizens of New York, at the Celebration of the Centennial Anniversary, July 4th, 1876
The prayer was heard. The effort and the sacri fice have come to their fruitage; and today the nation - still one, as at the start, though now ex panded over such immense spaces, absorbing such incessant and diverse elements from other lands, de veioping within it opinions so con?icting, interests so various, and forms of occupation so novel and manifold - to-day the nation, emerging from the toil and the turbulent strife, with the earlier and the later clouds alike swept out of its resplendent stellar arch, pauses from its work to remember and rejoice; with exhilarated Spirit to anticipate its future; with rever ent heart to Offer to God its great Te Deum.
