Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Northern Strength and Weakness: An Address on Occasion of the National Fast, April 30, 1863; Delivered in Watertown
Two years have passed away since the first gun of treason summoned Americans to the defence of their form of government, and to a fresh valuation of the principles which it pretended to represent. Men live fast in such times, and gray hairs make more rapidly than usual. We have been sternly taught to know things never before suspected; to hurriedly revise what we knew previously; to count our acquisitions by the marks of suffering. There is no doubt that the country has made much progress in self-knowledge. Can it show any progress in the vindication of her best ideas?
