Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Making of Georgia Ogelthorpe Ladies of the Georgia Society of the Colonial Dames of America: Ladies and Gentlemen - There is hardly any century in history, wrote Bolingbroke, which began by opening so great a scene as the century in which we live. Had he lived to its close he might have added, nor any ended with such tremendous consequences to mankind. The vast empire which Louis XIV had toiled so long to construct was shattered by Marlborough at Blenheim in 1704, and the Revolution of the French, consummated in 1799, when Napoleon became the first consul, fixed for ever in the popular mind the power and individuality of the people. It was the age of Frederick the Great, of Charles of Sweden, of Peter of Russia. It heard the death knell of the republic of Venice, and it presided over the partition of Poland; and on every hill-top in America it saw the beacon fires of freedom and democracy blaze in triumph through the throbbing night. It was the age of Dryden and of Pope; of Johnson and Goldsmith; of Addi son and Steele; of Fielding and Defoe; of Burke and Pitt and Sheridan, and Fox and Wilkes. Until it neared its end, it was the Englishman s century, and wherever civiliza tion had set its mark his speech was heard and his arms respected. It was pre-eminently a century of action. There was never a time when politics were more bitter and scur rilous, and there was never a time when literature was more polished. And urbane. Gay found it acceptable to his.
