Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered in the Tabernacle, Before the Tippecanoe: And Other Harrison Associations, of the City of York, at the Celebration of the Anniversary of the Birth Day of Washington, and the Recent Triumph of Sound Principles
The Romans guarded with religious care the sacred books obtained by T arquin from the Cumaean Sybil. When danger threatened the State they consulted those mysterious and prophetic records, as containing the oracles Of their fate, with the most imposing religious ceremonies. He, whose name has given eternal honor to this day - whose glory outshines that of Tarquin or any of his proud successors, hathileft to us a richer legacy than the leaves of the Cumaean prophetess. We have this day heard it read. We have consulted the sacred relic - not indeed amid the pomp of a Roman Senate but with a more sublime ceremony - amid the expressive and enlightened reverence of a free People.
