Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Historical Address Historical characters are like books. The really great books are few in number, - neither are they easily distinguished at their appearance. Occasionally one excites a great commotion; everybody is reading and talking of it; the circulating libraries can hardly supply the demand. In a few weeks, - at longest, a few months, - the interest is gone; the book is forgotten. Once in ten years, a book appears whose usefulness and popularity steadily increase for a time; it endures for a generation. But how few are known or read now that were printed a hundred years ago! All are forgotten, - save one in a million. They have done their work; they have played for a brief time their little parts in tho world´s drama: they are found only upon the highest shelves and in tho most distant alcoves of antiquarian libraries. So with men. How many who have been voters for thirty years can recite the names of the governors of this state for that time? Yet at each election, your interest has been keen; sometimes it has been intense; occasionally absorbing and thrilling; and these names, now forgotten, have been fresh in your thoughts and ready upon your lips.
