Commemorate the United States' centennial with Robert Charles Winthrop's stirring "Oration On the Centennial Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence." Delivered in Boston's Music Hall on July 4, 1876, at the request of the city government, this oration captures the spirit of a nation reflecting on its first century.

A valuable historical document, this text provides insights into the social and political climate of the late 19th century and the ongoing significance of the Declaration of Independence. This edition preserves the original text, allowing readers to experience Winthrop's powerful words as they were first heard.
