Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early American Spirit, and the Genesis of It: The Declaration of Independence, and the Effects of It The following Addresses have been previously published in separate pamphlets; but the edition of each being exhausted, and a desire having been expressed that the two should be combined in a volume, the publishers now present them in this form to the public. The first of these Addresses was delivered before the New York Historical Society, on the occasion of the celebration of its Seventieth Anniversary, April 15, 1875. The second was delivered before the citizens of New York, in accordance with the invitation of their distinguished committee, at the celebration of the Centennial Anniversary of American Independence, July 4, 1876. The favor with which the Addresses were received by the large and cultivated audiences convened on these respective occasions, at the Academy of Music, and the acceptance which they have since met with from the public, as presenting in brief compass a lucid and just exhibition of the earlier and the later life and progress of the American people, have induced the publishers to embody them in this more permanent form, for their wider circulation, and the easier preservation of them by those into whose hands they come.
