Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Born, February 12, 1809, Died, April 15, 1865, Sixteenth President of the United States: A Brief Biography, Noting Especially the Influences of His Early Years, as Manifested in the Splendid Fruitage of His Later Life Accounts of His More Important Acts as President the Assassination Carefully Verified Anecdotes Eulogies and Appreciatio Nature is not lavish of great men - she seems to distribute them through the centuries," says a writer. Rarely have two really great men or women destined to leave ineffaceable footprints on time´s sands been born even in the same decade. The year 1809, however, has the distinction of being the natal year of eight men and two women to whom the world owes debts it can never pay, no matter how tall its monuments or how profound its eulogies. Only by taking into our very hearts and "main intentions" the lessons their lives point may we truly honor them. The scroll of honor includes Lincoln, Holmes, Poe, Fanny Kemble, Chopin, Darwin, Mendelssohn, Tennyson, Mrs. Browning and Gladstone. What a group! What divine inspiration manifesting itself in such varied form! In this little book it is the author´s privilege to present a brief life of Lincoln, and to furnish some carefully verified anecdotes and "appreciations" of his manifold characteristics, in centenary commemoration of the President-martyr´s birth, on February 12,1809. May each one who reads take into his or her heart the lesson that true greatness spells true simplicity, true humility, honor for honor´s sake, unswerving perseverance in the right, justice, mercy, and that true love of mankind which broadly embraces in its generosity and tolerance all creeds, all conditions, every animate and inanimate thing created by the Almighty - intolerance of every wrong, but not of the wrong doer.
