Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered Before the Washington Benevolent Society, in the City of New-York, at Zion Church, on the Twenty-Second of February, 1809 The history of Washington, for more than forty years, was the history of our country. It was the peculiar felicity of this man, to have laid in early youth, the foundation of our national greatness; to have conducted through life the great work of our independence; and when he died, to have left a young empire, wide-extended, united, respected abroad, and happy at home, as the fruit of his labours.
