Excerpt from Addresses Delivered Before the California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution: Memorial Sketches by Thomas A. PerkinsBut, lest I betray my ignorance to those Who are better posted than myself, I have considered it better to select a different, though very interesting, line of thought to-night. Interesting from a philosophical point of view, interesting because it reveals the great moral forces - the great currents that bear the nation on toward its destiny. History has its currents as the air has its trade-winds, and the sea its gulf stream and Japan current. They arise from small beginnings, gather force, attain a maximum, alter the world's map and wreck dynasties, then wane, their currents turn awry and lose the name of action.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
