Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Eulogy on Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States: Pronounced by the Hon. Charles B. Sedgwick, on the Occasion of the Obsequies at Syracuse, April 19th, 1865 Fellow Citizens: - On this day the obsequies of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States, are being celebrated in the Capital of the Nation, Slowly and sadly, amid the tears and lamentations of the people, and the great throbs of a mighty Republic´s heart, the long procession moves, to bear his mortal remains to their final resting place in that distant town upon the Western prairies. That to him greenest spot of all the earth was his home, and there a little more than four years ago he bade adieu to fireside enjoyments and home-born happiness, to assume the robes of office and the cares of state. His touching farewell to his friends and neighbors at his departure, was full of pathetic tenderness and prophetic sadness. He foresaw too plainly that he was launching his frail bark upon a sea at all times treacherous and troubled, but then lashed into tenfold fury by the storm. He went at the call of duty to the post of danger, and although wrecked, his life is by no means lost. One week ago, full of life and hope, he was laboring with cheerful heart for the public welfare, and the dark clouds of rebellion and treason, which during his whole administration and lowered above, were just beginning to lift and give assurance that the stars were shining beyond. To-day - "Two bands upon the breast, And labor´s done; Two pale feet crossed in rest - The race is won." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
