death of Commodore Maury, on the
3rd of February, 1873. The orator
said in part:
ut was, sir. vouchsafed to no man
or his generation to live to see so
much good accomplished as the direct
result OF his own efforts and discov-
cries: and perhaps no man, living or
dead, has ever contributed more to
the practical welfare of mankind.
This Is not strange, for he devoted his
life to the advancement and improve
ment of his race; and. forgetting self,
worked for the good of humanity
History will face his name and char
acter In the same rank with Newton
and Humboldt, for the field Of his re-
searches was no less extensive than
theirs, and the benefits conferred
upon the world have been as great"
doubt whether we yet fully
realize the greatness OF tho work
which he accomplished and the fame
which he achieved. His simple and
transformations and iaborious life was
only rendered conspicuous by its re-
suits. His triumphs were the mastery
of the laws OF matter and were blood
less and noiseless: but they were
more beneficial and not less glorious
than the victories OF war.
There Is not a ship that moves on
the ocean. there is not an article of
commerce used by civilized men, which
does not tell the story of his labors
and his genius, and throughout civil
zation. and especially throughout the
maritime world. he Is rightly regard
ed az one OF the greatest benefactors.
Others have perfected the systems
which his genius originated. and have
to great extent reaped the fruits OF
his discoveries: but the world will
sooner or later. accord to him the debt
lof gratitude and the need of praise
which are his due, The crowning
honor OF Commander Maury's life was
that, as devoteee 10 science. he was
a faithful servant OF the living God
and a fearless searcher after truth ;
hs was an humble and earnest soldier
and follower OF Christ
He has been an honor to Virginia,
an honor to America, and an honor
TO civilization. and In gratefully rec
dgn!xing this we do but honor our
selves.
