I ‘&VE so often, of late, been called on for copies of some of these productions, -no longer to be found in a separate or convenient form,-that I have ventured to think that they might prove an acceptable contribution to our Centennial Literature. They deal with two, certainly, of the greatest figures of the period we are engaged in commemorating; and BOWDOIN,I am persuaded, will be’ considered no un­ worthy associate of WASHINGTONand FRANKLINin such a publication. The Monument to Washington, to which the first pro­ duction relates, is still unfinished. It may be interesting to recall the fact that the Oration, on the laying of its corner-stone, was to have been delivered by JOHNQUINCY ADAMS.

ROBINSON I DEDICATE THIS VOLUME. In the conventional code of human homiletics they were separated in their hves by the accident of birth and difference of education ; but by their unselfish natures, their genial and gentle susceptibilities and sympathies, their love of Nature and thorough enjoyment of its ever varying moods and phases, they were on fit occasions fit and willing associates. The one, answering the sharp, quick summons of the battle field, gave his life for his country. The other, after having repeatedly saved the life of others, gave up his own from a bed of sickness. In that sphere of divine and all embracing Charity whither they have gone, the pure gold of their lives, freed from all earthly alloy, will shine with equal lustre, and they who were companions in time may be friends forever. With them the author had many pleasant excursions on the waters and along the shores of the Niagara River.
