Excerpt from The Great Triumphs of Great Men In the following pages we have given brief notices of the great triumphs of the great men of our nation. It is an illustrious catalogue, of which we have reason to be proud. As we turn from triumph to triumph, we observe what a wealth of power Britain possesses in the genius and industry of her sons; and when we see such glorious deeds in the past, we are encouraged to entertain the brightest anticipations regarding the future.
