Excerpt from Manasseh Cutler and the Settlement of Ohio, 1788: An Address Delivered at the Union Sesqui-Centennial Memorial Service in the First Congregational Church, Marietta, Ohio, April 10, 1938 France was about to flare up into revolution, a social upheaval which historians now see as the natural outcome of the English revolution of 1688 and the American revola tion of 1776. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were to be on the throne of France for five more years. Let us pause long enough to pay our respects to the queen whose name this city bears, who lost her head because she first lost her heart to the radicals of her age, the American republicans. George III, who had been ruling England for twenty eight years, had lost his American colonies; nevertheless, ' he was to have thirty-two more years of rule. Bagehot might have said that this was another evidence of the stupidity and the stability of the British government. Fred erick the Great of Prussia had been dead two years. In the field of literature, Cowper was in his decline; Coleridge and Blake were rising in fame. Burns, the out spoken champion of Washington, had still seven years to live. Wordsworth, who favored both the American and French revolutions, was eighteen years of age; Scott was seventeen. Goethe, over in Germany, was thirty-nine. In music, Beethoven had but recently visited Mozart in Vienna, astounding him with the evidences of his superb genius.
