The Claims of Our Country on Its Literary Men: An Oration before the Phi Beta Kappa Society is a speech delivered by George Washington Bethune in 1849. In this oration, Bethune discusses the importance of literature and the role of literary men in shaping the culture and values of the United States. He argues that literary men have a responsibility to use their talents to promote the well-being of their country and to inspire their fellow citizens to strive for greatness. Bethune also emphasizes the need for a strong national literature that reflects the unique character and identity of the United States. This book is a fascinating historical document that offers insight into the intellectual and cultural climate of mid-19th century America, and it remains relevant today as a reminder of the enduring importance of literature and the arts in shaping our national identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
