Excerpt from Eulogy on General Grant: Delivered at Tremont Temple, Boston, Thursday Evening, Oct. 22, 1885 Men without faults are apt to be men without force. A round diamond has no brilliancy. Lights and shadows, hills and val leys, give beauty to the landscape. The faults of great and generous natures are often over-ripe goodness, or the shadows which their Virtues cast.
