Excerpt from Address on the Re-Inauguration of the Bronze Statue of George Washington, at the Virginia Military Institute, September 10, 1866
Accordingly, on the 3d. Day of July, 1856, the work having been executed, the copy of the original being and to the satisfaction of Governor Wise, he, as the Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth of Virginia, appeared here to perform the agreeable duty of placing it on its pedestal. His address delivered on the occasion, presents an accurate history of the legislation Which resulted in the execution of the great work of Houdon, and its location in the Capitol of the State, where it has remained and still remains, admired by all as a splendid work of art, and a faithful representation of the form, features and person of him, whom it was designed to commemorate. That historical narrative is replete with interest to every son of Virginia, and cannot fail to inspire admiration in the breast of every American Citizen, no matter in what section of this great country he may be located. It presents the facts in regard to the legislation of Virginia, the parties designated to select the sculptor - the pains taken in preparing for the execution of such a work as was required - and the brilliant success which characterized and crowned his labors. It presents also the facts connected with the execution of the work before us. All these facts are grouped with power and ability - ih language chaste, elegant, expressive, eloquent and appropriate, admirably suited to the subject and the occasion. I adopt it therefore, with the single additional remark, that it is worthy, eminently worthy, of a statesman who has filled the exalt-cd position of Chief Magistrate of Virginia.
