Description

Excerpt from Death of Henry Clay: A Sermon Delivered, by Request, in Trinity Church, Easton, on the Fourth Sunday After Trinity, July 4th, 1852 And is it not well? The neglect of such a solicitation would have an unfriendly influence on virtue and public spirit. We know that the wisest and most renowned nations of the past have not only applauded, and voted thanks and triumphs to their illustrious citizens, while living, but have celebrated them, in eulogies, when dead: have deeply mourned their de parted worth, and have erected altars of virtue, and monuments of honor, in order to perpetuate their names and deeds to sue ceeding ages and generations. Thus, in the best and palmiest days of their republics, did Greece and Rome and it was, says Thucydides, the manner of the Egyptians, the fathers of arts and sciences, not only to duly recount and honor the names and actions of their departed worthies, but to embalm their bodies, that they might long be kept in public view, as ex amples of virtue, and, though dead, yet speaking.
