Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address Before the Merrimack County Agricultural Society, at Their Fourth Annual Fair at Concord, N. H., Sept. 28, 1864
I have accepted the invitation to address your society on this anniversary with more than usual pleasure. We are living in an age of almost superhuman endeavor. Never be fore has the mind of man been so roused to action, in all the strange and eventful history of his efforts to elevate himself to the highest standard of material prosperity, and of moral and intellectual cultivation. Everywhere, by fearless devo tion to every great work, in the workshop, in the studio, on the land and on the sea, by steam and wind and the electric currents, in the sunny and silent corn-fields, and on the wild and stormy battle-field, man is engaged in subduing all pow erful natural forces to his own purpose, and in enlarging all the faculties which God has given him for the divine service which he is destined to perform on earth.
