pass the tales of old—it is the voice of  years
that are gone—they roll before me with all their deeds—I seize the tales as they pass and pour them forth.—
Ossian.
My Countrymen,—
These things ought not to be forgotten ; for the benefit of our
Children,
and those that follow them, they should be recorded in history—
Dr. Franklin.
