Presentation of Mr. Peyton’s Portrait to the County of Augusta
In order to preserve, in a permanent form, the interesting proceedings on the occasion when Mr. Peyton’s portrait was presented to the county of Augusta, the little pamphlet containing them and printed at the time, is here reproduced.
The pamphlet was entitled: “John Howe Peyton. Ceremonies attending the presentation of his portrait to the county of Augusta.”
“Great men heighten the consciousness of the human race, and it is our grateful duty to magnify him whose genius magnifies mankind.”
