From the hallowed halls of Clermont to the bustling streets of colonial America, pronouncements have shaped history. Lord Rosebery's address to the Liberal Party in 1892, the Great Speech at Chesterfield in 1674, the Sons of Liberty's defiant cries against British rule in 1765, Gen. Ferrero's proclamation of Albania's independence in 1912, Urban II's call for the Crusades in 1095, the Night Watchman's bell ringing announcements, the solemn pronouncement of man and wife in a wedding ceremony in 1901, and the joyous Hallelujah of the Constitution of 1812, all are testament to the power of a well-delivered statement. Even art, as seen in the Annunciation painting from the early 15th century, captures the significance of pronouncements through its depiction of the angel's announcement to Mary.
