Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration Pronounced at Littleton July 4, 1806: The Thirtieth Anniversary of American Independence To celebrate, annually, any remarkable deliverance; the conquest over an enemy; or the triumph of political principle is conformable to the customs of most civilized nations. On these subjects orators and poets have been equally emulous in displaying their talents. They have recorded important events, embellished the history of them, and rendered the heroes and statesmen of their times immortal. Their example is worthy of notice, and is imitated by the sons of Columbia. Causes, which involve the liberties and lives of a people must deeply interest them; and when successfully terminated will forever be recollected with pleasing sensations. To private reflections on the dangers they have escaped, and the blessings they have secured, they will join a more public celebration of these events, that they may be proclaimed in the audience of all the people.
