Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the American Antiquarian Society, at Their Annual Meeting, October 23, 1835: In the Unitarian Meeting-House, Worcester, in Relation to the Character and Services of Their Late Librarian, Christopher C. Baldwin, Esq. When the members of the Antiquarian Society last gathered in this house around the altar of Religion, the prayer ascended from the lips Of the venerated servant of the Most High, for the benefactor and patron Of our institution. The. Voice Of one now silent in the grave, with the eloquent language of gratitude, portrayed the merits and services of him, who laid the foundation, and reared, in strength and beauty, the structure Of our prosperity. Again we have come up to the temple of our faith, that spot where earth-born care may best repose, to acknowledge, in humility, the dispensation of Providence which has removed another valued associate from our circle.
