Excerpt from Lang Syne or the Wards of Mount Vernon: A Tale of the Revolutionary EraWhen a people whose watchword is Progress, consent to stand still, and pausing in their career, not only look backward, but devote their time and their energies to enthusiastic commemoration of the deeds of the past, it is a speaking tribute to the hold which that past has upon their affections, and to the power which it may yet wield in moulding the char acter of their future. Such an exhibition of patriotism, we are again looking forward to on April 30th, 1889, as was given by the people of these United States the memorable year which marked the completion of our republic's first century of existence.What an electric thrill that was which shot through the length and breadth of this mighty land, when the solemn stroke of the midnight bell, tolling the requiem of 1875, changed its tone into one of glad rejoicing, as it rang forth the advent of the infant year, which ushered in the second century of our existence as a nation.That was a typical scene which was enacted, at the same hour, in the heart of the greatest thoroughfare of the greatest city in America, when, from the lofty spire of old Trinity Church, chimed forth a glad welcome to that significant New Year, and thousands of human tongues gave back harmonious response, as they thundered forth the most familiar but sublimest of doxologies to the immortal melody of Old Hundred. Typical was this scene of the feelings cherished by a whole people although not everybody had the opportunity of giving such dramatic expression to the emotions of thankfulness welling up within his soul.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
