Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Documents of the Legislature of Connecticut, Vol. 1 of 2: At the January Session, 1879 Gentlemen of the General Assembly: I accept the office to which I have been elected with profound gratitude to the people of the State, and with a deep sense of the responsibility which it brings. It will be my most sincere endeavor to discharge its duties with an understanding heart, and that I may at all times discern between good and bad. I welcome yon to the occupancy of this noble edifice. I congratulate the State of Connecticut upon the substantial completion of its new capitol. This building was commenced in 1872, and now, with the exception of a few minor details, work upon the interior is finished, and it is ready for the purposes for which it was designed. The statues, of colossal size, to be placed at the foot of the dome, are not yet in position, but will, it is expected, be erected in a short time. A structure of this kind should be, in some degree, an expression of the culture and refinement of the people who caused its creation; and every citizen should find a source of gratification in the fact that in this instance success has been so nearly attained. The architecture and prevailing design, while ornate, are chaste and effective; the exterior is characterized by grace and beauty, and the interior by convenient and commodious arrangement. The furnishing and mural decoration of the halls and chambers have been completed with excellent taste, and the entire building as it stands does honor to the energy, economy, and fidelity to the trust reposed in them, of the commissioners and other gentlemen in charge. One of the most gratifying circumstances connected with the work, is the fact that it will be completed at a cost within the estimates originally made.
