the anniversary of
an event singular in the history of civilization;...

EWI 11.122 2 There are many styles of civilization...
EWI 11.140 10 The First of August [1834] marks the
entrance of a new
element into modern politics, namely, the civilization of the negro.
EWI 11.141 12 On sight of these [African artifacts],

sublime thoughts seemed to rush at once into [William Pitt's] mind,
some
of which he expressed; and hence appeared to arise a project which was

accelerate so
far the progress of civilization.
