Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Oration Delivered Before the Lincoln Union The publishers meet a constantly increasing demand in issuing this limited edition of Mr. Watterson´s "Abraham Lincoln." It was first delivered as an oration before the Lincoln Union, of Chicago, February 12, 1895, the occasion being the Union´s annual celebration of the birthday of the martyred President. The great Auditorium of that city was crowded to its utmost capacity - the surviving son of Mr. Lincoln, and his family, occupying one of the boxes - and was received by this concourse with sustained enthusiasm. In response to invitations, which soon became general, Mr. Watterson consented to repeat it as a lecture; and in that character it has been heard by admiring multitudes in every part of the country, but nowhere with livelier demonstrations of approval than in the cities of the Southern States, from Richmond and Charleston to New Orleans and Galveston. The matter is here given as originally spoken by Mr. Watterson; with the single exception of the passage relating to the affair at Hampton Roads. Finding his statement questioned, touching what had actually passed between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Stephens at the famous Conference, Mr. Watterson, in his subsequent delivery of the lecture, gave the proof of his assertion, at the same time disclaiming any purpose other than an illustration of the wise magnanimity and Christ-like sense of justice of Abraham Lincoln.
