HEROES, SAGES, AND STATESMEN
T
CONFINED EXCLUSIVELY TO THOSE WHO HAVE signalized theMSELVES
IN EITHER CAPACITY, IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAP WHICH
OBTAINED THE INDEPENDENCE OF THEIR COUNTRY.
COMPILED BY THOMAS J. ROGERS.
Whether we consider the intrinsic gallantry of our revolutionary heroes and
statesmen, the sufferings they endured, or the inestimable value of the blessing
they obtained, no nation has prouder examples to appeal to than the American
people: no nation was ever called on by stronger obligations of gratitude, to
honour their characters and to consecrate their memories.
