Excerpt from Eulogy on the Life and Services of Henry Clay Warrenton, August 3, 1852. Dear Sir: Having listened with deep and lively interest to your eloquent address, delivered on Saturday last, on the Life and Public Services of Mr. Clay, and convinced that it deserves a place where its merits may be more extensively known and appreciated, a sense of justice to yourself prompts us to ask of you, for ourselves and others, a copy of the same for publication. Hoping that the request will be favorably considered, we remain, Your fellow-citizens, Thos. M. Monroe, Wm. F. Phillips, Jr. John S. Byrne, Marshall T. Smith, A. D. Pollock, James F.Forbes, Wm. N. Bispham, &c., &c., To James V. Brooke, Esq. Warrenton, August 3, 1852. Gentlemen: Your favor of this date, in which you honor me with a request for "a copy of my address delivered on Saturday last, on the Life and Public Services of Mr. Clay, " has been handed me. While I am conscious that I fell far short in that address, of doing justice to the exalted worth and eminent services of the patriot and statesman who formed its subject, I cheerfully comply with your request. In doing so, however, I defer rather to your wishes than to the reasons which you give for making it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
