Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 6. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Annual meeting of Southern Historical Society, October 28th and 29th, 1878. (search)
by unforseen engagements from fulfilling his promise to deliver our annual address, the Society was very fortunate in securing the services of Rev. Dr. J. L. Burrows, of Louisville, Kentucky, a resident of Richmond during the war. The hall of the House of Delegates was crowded with fair women and brave men, and scattered through the audience were some of our most prominent Confederates. The President of the Society, General J. A. Early, presided. After an appropriate prayer by Rev. Dr. Tupper, General Early, in a few well-chosen words, introduced Dr. Burrows to the audience. With a facecious statement of the circumstances under which he had consented to take the place of the distinguished orator (Hon. J. S. C. Blackburn), Dr. Burrows introduced his theme--evacuation day in Richmond-- by saying: But I may be permitted to add to these preliminary remarks that my sincere and earnest interest in the objects for which this Society was organized helped to gain my consent.
