Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration Delivered Before the Cincinnati Astronomical Society The high veneration entertained by the Society, for your char acter - a knowledge of the arduous, disinterested duties, you have rendered your country, and a belief that the granting of this re quest, will ensure the accomplishment of their object, has induced them, to direct their attention to you, on this occasion. Permit me to add my most anxious hope, that it will be in your power to grant their request. Should it be so, you will be met by thousands of your fellow citizens, who venerate your character, but whose situation in life, hitherto, has prevented them from ten dering to you, manifestations of their respect and friendship.
