Opis: Eulogy, Delivered in the Chapel of Brown University - Russell George R.

Excerpt from Eulogy, Delivered in the Chapel of Brown University: On Mr. Henry Smith, Member of the Senior Class, Who Died, December 28, 1820

When the grave has closed over a respected and dearly beloved friend, and the first effect of grief, that attended his departure, is tranquilized, it is with mournful satisfaction, we call his character to remembrance, and check the falling tear, by reflecting on the virtues with which it was adorned and dignified. With melancholy pleasure, we dwell on the hours we passed in his society; on the talents, which acquired our esteem; and on the amiable qualities, which endeared him to us. The thought that he is happy, affords us consolation; and while we lisp his name with veneration, and feel that one of the strongest links which bind us here below, is severed, we calm our broken spirits, with the hope, that he has left us for a place, where sorrow ceases, and where the vexatious troubles of the world cannot molest him.

The man, whose publick services have rendered his name illustrious, and whose active exertions for the welfare of his country have entitled him to its gratitude and admiration, may afford an ample theme for panegyrick. The private individual, who has revealed to few the emotions of his heart, who has kept within himself those qualities which draw respect and love, who, to the world, has apparently been wrapt in apathy, and whose cold exterior does not disclose the generous fire which burns within him, may present extensive subject of encomium, to those who knew and cherished him. For they many then expose the tender sensibility and deep feelings of affection, which dwelt in the breast of the departed, and of which, those, who were but slightly connected with him, had not even dreamt.
