DISCUSSION:

By the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop. Printed in Boston by order of the City Council, in 1876.

A Centennial Celebration oration, given by a notable member of one of the great political and philanthropic families of the Bay State. Robert Charles Winthrop [1809-1894], a descendant of John Winthrop, studied law with Daniel Webster, and served as Speaker of both the House of Representatives in Massachusetts and the House of Representatives in Washington, before retiring from politics at age 41 to devote the remainder of his long life to literary and philanthropic pursuits. He served for 30 years as president of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and upon his birthday in 1892, “it was noted that he had the distinction of having known every President of the United States except Washington and Jefferson”. A noted orator, he spoke at the dedication of the Washington Monument in 1848. His great-great grandson is former Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts.
