July Fourth, 1761: An Historical Discourse in Commemoration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Charter of Lebanon (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from July Fourth, 1761: An Historical Discourse in Commemoration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Charter of Lebanon

We meet to-day, by the invitation of the old folks at home, to exchange friendly greetings; to look once more upon these beautiful green hills, and these grand old rocks; to revive the memories of our common birthplace, and to take a rapid review of our family records for these hundred years past.

It becomes me at the outset, in the name of all who are gathered here from abroad, to thank the good people of Lebanon, adopted as well as native, for the generous invitation which has called us back to the home of our childhood, and for the spirit with Which they have prepared for this celebration.
