Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Address to the Republican Club, of the City of New York, at Its Sixteenth Lincoln Dinner, February 12, 1902 Forty years have passed since the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln. His great secretaries and military commanders, his lieutenants in Congress, his staunch allies, the war governors of the States, the great intellectual, financial and political leaders of that far-off time, his friends and his enemies both North and South, who could properly be called his contemporaries, are all, or nearly all, at rest. Even the youngest of the boys who fought for and against him begin to be warned by the dimmed eye, the heavy ear, or the faltering step, that the time draweth nigh. The president of to-day was in his cradle forty years ago. A new generation has come, to whom the stress and storm and passion of the great Rebellion are but as a story that is told; and even to the oldest of my hearers the fife, the drum, the tread of marching feet, the clash of arms and the roar of cannon are an echo and a memory growing ever dimmer and more distant. During these forty years a thousand books have been written and published about Abraham Lincoln, and ten thousand essays and addresses. His career has been described and his character has been analyzed; he has been placed and sung and glorified till history and philosophy and eloquence and poetry are exhausted and no new thing remains to be said.
