""Memorial of the Inauguration of the Statue of Franklin"" is a historical book written by Nathaniel Bradstreet Shurtleff in 1857. The book documents the inauguration of the statue of Benjamin Franklin, which was erected in Boston, Massachusetts. The statue was created by Richard S. Greenough, a prominent American sculptor, and was unveiled in front of a large crowd on September 17, 1856. The book contains a detailed account of the inauguration ceremony, including speeches by various dignitaries, such as the Mayor of Boston and the President of Harvard University. It also includes descriptions of the statue itself, as well as its historical significance and the role that Franklin played in the founding of the United States. In addition to the inauguration ceremony, the book also provides a brief biography of Benjamin Franklin, highlighting his achievements as a statesman, scientist, and inventor. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in American history, particularly the role that Franklin played in shaping the nation. It is also a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political climate of mid-19th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

Committee of the City Council, and theS tatue Committee, to prepare an account of the work of art now standing in the public square in front of City Hall) together with a memorial of the ceremonies attending its inauguration on the seventeenth of September last, the editor of the following pages was prompted by a willingness to bestow his part towards the tribute so justly rendered to the memory of Boston smost remarkable son, and to do something, however humble, towards perpetuating one of the greatest demonstrations ever witnessed within the limits of his native city. Without the assistance that has been most freely given, and the information which has been liberally communicated, the task would have been one of the most difficult accomplishment :and, but for the admirable reports of the public press, and the minute description of details thus preserved, much that was interesting on the occasion, and worthy of remembrance would have been irrecoverably lost. From the newspapers, and other journals of the day, those faithful chroniclers of passing events, and from the records of various committees, societies and associations, much that will be found in the accompanying pages has been derived.
