Greece did not expire. The sons of Greece caught new life from desperation ; the plague of the Turkish arms was stayed ; till the governments followed, where the people had led the way, and the war, which was sustained by the literary and religious sympathies of the friends of art and science, was brought to a triumphant close, by the armies and navies of Europe : — and there they now stand, the first great re-conquest of modern civilization. Many, I doubt not, who hear me, have had the pleasur...e, within a few weeks, of receiving a Greek oration, pronounced in the temple of Theseus, on the reception at Athens of the first official act of the young Christian prince, under whom the government of this interest- ing country is organized. What contemplations does it not awaken, to behold a youthful Bavarian prince, deputed by the great powers of Europe, to go, with the guaranties of letters, religion, and the arts, to the city of Minerva, which had reached the summit of human civil- ization, ages before Bavaria had emerged from the depths of the Black Forest !
