Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Oration Delivered by the Hon. Henry S. Foote: On the Fourth of July, 1850, at Monument Place, With an Introduction
A short time before his death, he uttered the following sentiment in relation to the magnificent Monument now being erected in this city, which it is hoped will be reciprocated by every American who venerates the character of the great bene. Factor of his country. Let it rise said he; let it ascend without interruption; let it point to the skies; let it stand forever as a lasting monument of the gratitude and affection of a free people for the Father of his Country.
