Excerpt from Address of the Hon. Edward Everett: Secretary of State, Delivered in Washington at the Anniversary of the American Colonization Society, Jan; 18, 1853 IT was my intention when I was requested some weeks ago, to take a part in the proceedings of this evening, to give the subject of the Colonization Spiciety and its operations on the coast of Africa, the most thorough examination in my power, in all its bearings, considering that, whether we look to the condition of this country or the interests of Africa, no more i'mpprtant object could engage our attention. But dur ing almost the whole of the interval that has since elapsed, my time and my thoughts have been so entirely taken up and preoccupied, that it has been altogether out of my power to give more than the hastiest preparation to the part which I am to take in this evening's proceedings. I am therefore obliged to throw myself upon the indulgence of this audi ence, with such a hasty view of the subject, as I have been alone able to take.

Excerpt from Address of the Hon. Edward Everett: Secretary of State, Delivered in Washington at the Anniversary of the American Colonization Society, Jan; 18, 1853 Mr. President and Gent. of the Col. Society: It was my intention when I was requested some weeks ago, to take a part in the proceedings of this evening, to give the subject of the Colonization Society and its operations on the coast of Africa, the most thorough examination in my power, in all its bearings, considering that, whether we look to the condition of this country or the interests of Africa, no more important object could engage our attention. But during almost the whole of the interval that has since elapsed, my time and my thoughts have been so entirely taken up and preoccupied, that it has been altogether out of my power to give more than the hastiest preparation to the part which I am to take in this evening's proceedings. I am therefore obliged to throw myself upon the indulgence of this audience, with such a hasty view of the subject, as I have been alone able to take. The Colonization Society seems to me to have been the subject of much unmerited odium, of much equally unmerited indifference on the part of the great mass of the community, and to have received that attention which it so well deserves, from but very few. We regard it now only in its infancy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
