[365] government of the city of Richmond, who honor themselves in honoring this occasion, and by the free sentiment of this great and noble people. There is nothing like it in history. No Greek general, no Roman consul, was ever welcomed with a triumph after a defeat. Nowhere, at no time, has a defeated side ever been so honored or the unsuccessful apotheosized.
Richmond, VA. 1895.
