This extract about the importance of maintaining a relationship between our ancestors and our posterity, comes from American lawyer and statesman Daniel Webster’s Discourse in Commemoration of the First Settlement of New England, delivered at Plymouth on the December 22, 1820. Here it is presented in Centennial Gregg, transcribed by yours truly.

Thank you again! I have an interest in genealogy… this was very interesting reading Daniel Webster’s take on it.
There are some big words in this speech, but great to write down in shorthand. I’m glad that you enjoyed it.
