Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the Twenty-Fifth Session of the Legislature of the State of California, Vol. 2 In preparing for this Fair, acting under the direction of the Board of Agriculture, I addressed letters to many distinguished men at the east, soliciting the honor of their attendance here, and assuring them of your undoubted wishes in that behalf, and of a cordial welcome. Notably among them were the President, Secretary Blaine, General Wade Hampton, and others. We were replied to with that high courtesy always attendant upon true greatness, declining, however, our invitation under the pressure of official obligations. When the monarchs of the old world make their progress through their dominions, as is proper in their case, they are received and entertained in the castles and palaces of the nobility, ours Visit the people over whom and by whom they are called to rule. And it is hand to hand, and eye to eye, we judge of the character of the men who sustain and administer the authority of our law. We hoped, especially in the diversity of ability and political history of our proposed guests, to show you that whatever that diversity, honor of character, and love for and pride in our country, overmastering the passions of the hour, are fast binding us in bonds no longer consid ered hateful, but are joining us in one common brotherhood, one and indivisible. From the President no answer came, but he in turn, standing upon the eternal hills, invites us to share his last possession, the ripe fruits of the garden of paradise and the bread of eternal life. The first want of a community, in its earliest stage, is mere sub sistence. From this point men proceed to satisfy their wants and their wishes, and as they further progress they resort to experiment, from which at last they evolve a rule of production. California has been passing through this process, and the final results are by no means yet attained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
