Speech, 1814 March 8.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122426133

Howe read this speech before the Hamilton Branch of the Washington Benevolent Society for the County of Hampshire, Massachusetts. The speech is partially a panegyric of George Washington and defends Washington against his detractors. It is full of references to contemporary politics, especially to the administration of Thomas Jefferson and to European events concerning Napoleon Bonaparte. Howe urges his audience to unite with one heart to restore the golden days of Washington.
