Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eulogy Pronounced in Providence, July 17, 1826, Upon the Characters of John Adams and Thos; Jefferson: Late Presidents of the United States To compare the respective merits of these illus trious men, their peculiar traits of mind and heart, their points of difference and resemblance, might be a pleasing, and, for some purposes, a profitable task. But neither Would time now permit, nor is it in' any respect necessary for a distinct perception of their separate and individual greatness. The character of each has sufficient materials for glory; there needs-no light of contrast, much less the illus iratidn of the one at the expense of the -other. Had each of them died when the Declaration of Independence. Was proclaimed at the cannon's mouth as the voice of their country, they had each, even then, done enough for fame and gratitude. The great events of their respective administra tions, which form so interesting a part of the history of this and other nations, it is the province of history to record. We are here to mourn the dead, 'to call to mind their titles to our gratitude, to acknowledge the Divine Goodness in raising: up such chainpions of our Israel, to muse upon the adorable displays of his Providence.
