Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Record of the Nation´s Tribute to Abraham Lincoln The scenes recorded in this memorial volume form the most wonderful and instructive chapter in human history. They vibrated mournfully through the sensibilities of every American heart, and though all the civilized and Christian nations of the world. It is, therefore, of the highest importance that their permanent record should possess the dignity and value of historic truth and accuracy. Such is this volume. In its preparation the design was to reproduce, in a condensed and connected form, from the public journals of Washington and of the cities through which the illustrious dead was conveyed to his burial place, the graphic pen-pictures painted by the accomplished reporters of the public press. These who may recognize their special part in the scenes of the solemn drama will feel a grateful pleasure that they have assisted to weave a perennial wreath to lay upon the tomb of the honored dead, which will live forever in fragrant freshness, to bless the memory and exalt the virtues of Abraham Lincoln, the martyred President of the United States. The record of the official action of the National Government, civil and military, and the tributes of the States, civic bodies, and foreign nations, form an interesting part of the volume. The labor of the compiler has been performed with much care, and it is a gratification to him to insert the following from eminent gentlemen, intimate friends of the late President, who examined the advance sheets: "Your work is accurate and complete. You have given to the American people a souvenir which, I am sure, they will fondly cherish. Your beautiful Tribute will no doubt be highly appreciated by the national authorities, and especially by the Secretary of War, under whose immediate direction the funeral honors were paid to the illustrious deceased, and by whom nothing was omitted that could add to the dignity and solemnity of the memorable pageant." Another adds: "I regard the record as valuable and interesting for present and future ages." One of the private secretaries of the late President, who examined its pages in the Executive Mansion, wrote: "I am glad that this compilation has been made, and doubt not the above commendations are well deserved." The compiler has been a resident at the capital of the nation for more than three years past, witnessed the public acts and scenes of President Lincoln´s administration, had several interesting interviews with him, and mingled in the solemn ceremonies of his funeral.
