[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

An Oration delivered before the Municipal Authorities of the City of 
Boston, July 4, 1859, by George Sumner. Printed in Boston by Geo. C. 
Rand and Avery in 1859.

“Together with the speeches at the dinner in Faneuil Hall, and other 
ceremonies at the celebration of the Eighty-third Anniversary of 
American Independence. George Sumner [1817-1863] was Charles Sumner’s 
brother, a businessman and world traveler. Here he takes the opportunity 
to engage in a long, well-researched exposition on the help given by 
European nations during the founding struggle of the nation. He ends 
with a lengthy and equally scholarly criticism of the 1857 Dred Scott 
Supreme Court ruling.
