Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings at the Dedication of the City Hospital: May 24, 1864
If in this consummation of a hope'long cherished, and now happily realized, we cannot be unmindful of their zeal and public spirit, which have contributed so largely to the result, it would be idle\with this noble edifice extending up into the heavens above us, and with their services fresh upon our minds, to attempt to discriminate in praise. This belongs to no exclusive few; but should be generously shared by all who have given us their aid. What has been accomplished is their all-sufficient monument; but permit me, having had favorable opportunities for observation, to bear witness to the fidelity and untir ing self-devotion of one and all.
