About This Book

A printed record of an official welcome delivered by a civic leader to a distinguished elder statesman during a public visit, accompanied by the guest's brief reply and an appended letter about a contemporary satirical work. The welcome lauds long public service, recalls frontier episodes and local industry, and ties regional prosperity to protective tariff and manufacturing policy. The reply expresses gratitude, offers an apology for an unforeseen arrival, and invokes a literary allusion. The appended letter discusses and defends points raised about Judge Brackenridge's Modern Chivalry and its reception.
