Description:Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered in the College Chapel, Before the Clariosophic Society Incorporate: And the Inhabitants of Columbia, on the 3d December, 1827 The friend to civil liberty, though he finds in the history of mankind no great cause for exultation, may yet, perhaps, see enough to encourage his exertions and invigorate his zeal. The records of our race are, indeed, little more than those of the tyrant and his slave, of usurpation and submission, of unlimited excess on the part of the ruler, and rebelling misery in the subject. The glorious examples of Greece and Rome produced but little immediate effect on the general condition of mankind. The wisest, if not unable to conceive of mixed forms of government, were not disposed to think them practicable, and the brilliant republics, so imposing in wisdom, dignity and courage, when unable longer to preserve the freedom of their institutions, sunk at once into the unlimited and licentious power of despotism. A long disastrous period of ignorance and superstition succeeded and threatened extinction to the remotest hopes of improvement. Yet, perhaps, to the sacred relics of the literature of those nations, we may trace the origin of whatever love of liberty has sprung up and flourished in modern Europe.
