Description: An oration, pronounced July 4, 1800, at the Baptist Meeting-House in Providence; it being the anniversary of American independence Author: Russell, Jonathan Title: An oration, pronounced July 4, 1800, at the Baptist Meeting-House in Providence; it being the anniversary of American independence Publication: Watertown, N.Y. printed by W. Woodward, 1830 Description: 8vo, pp. 20; self-wrappers; uncut; stitched, as issued; lightly toned and spotted; very good. Russell (1771-1832) graduated from Brown in 1791 and he served in the Madison administration as chargé d'affaires in Paris in 1810. The next year he was given the same position in London. From 1814 to 1818 he was United States minister to Sweden and Norway. He was one of the negotiators of the Treaty of Ghent, with John Quincy Adams, James A. Bayard, Henry Clay, and Albert Gallatin. His Fourth of July oration of 1800 went through nearly 20 editions. However, William Giles Goddard wrote in a biographical notice in the American Quarterly Register, "Mr. Russell had no skill as a forensic or parliamentary speaker; but, as a writer, he possessed versatile and eminent gifts. He wrote, not only with facility, but with uncommon elegance and force - and, when the subject permitted, with a caustic severity not often surpassed.
