Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at Bedford, New Hampshire: On the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town, May 19th, 1850
A hundred years ago, Washington was a youth, just old enough to be enrolled in a military train-band; the elder Adams was not enough of a boy to labor in his father's shop; Jefferson was a mere child, and Madison and Munroe were unborn. A hundred years ago, and Wolfe and Montcalm were yet to fall in deadly strife before Quebec; the French were to be routed, to lose the mastery of the Canadas and Louisiana, and, finally, a footing upon the western continent.
A hundred years ago, and Louis the Sixteenth, and the hapless Maria Antoinette, were yet to fall under the axe of the guillotine. Robespierre, Marat, and Danton, were yet guiltless of the blood of their countrymen. Napoleon and Wellington were not yet; the fields of Marengo, of Auster litz, and Waterloo had no bloody celebrity.
