Excerpt from Address by Hon. Benjamin Harris Brewster, LL. D., At the Laying of the Corner Stone of the New Public Buildings, Philadelphia, July 4, 1874 Mr. President and gentlemen: These solemn ceremonies having been performed, it is now my duty to say some few words, explaining the history and purpose of this great public work. One hundred and eighty years ago, when this city and this province were a wilderness, William Penn, then the proprietor, dedicated this very spot of ground as the suitable site for the public buildings of his projected city. That such was his act, and such his purpose, has been judicially established as a legal and historic fact; and now we perform the conditions of the grant, and honestly apply the gift to the object of the trust, obeying the intentions of our provident benefactor. For many years this city has been unprovided with buildings suitable for the convenient performance of the usual and necessary public business.
