Excerpt from An Address, Delivered at the Consecration of the Harmony Grove Cemetery: In Salem, June 14, 1840
Such is the genuine language Of affection among all nations. You find the expression of it among the ancient Jews, Greeks and Romans; among the Turks, the Poles, the Swiss, as well as in many parts of England, France, and our own country; facts, too well known to need a particular description, and they all flow from a deep and tender feeling of sym pathy for the dead, indicating that we think them still conscious of the honors paid to their remains.
