Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Illinois Life and the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln: An Address at the University of Illinois, Lincoln´s Birthday, 1896 In 1860 my way to school led me, with unvarying regularity, by the stately mansion which had been the residence of one of New York´s greatest governors and most gifted sons. William Henry Seward. The association of this house with one of the greatest names in the history of the state gave it unusual interest to all, and, in connection with events which were then transpiring, led it to exert a considerable influence upon my childish thought. Its former occupant was not yet a memory. He was still a great force in the public life of the people. He was representing his great state in the senate of the nation, with a wealth of scholarship and literary culture, as well as of high-minded thought and courage, which reflected lasting honor upon himself and his people alike. He was a common and an attractive figure about the capital of the state, and the halo of glory which surrounded him, the principles for which he stood, the fluency of his speech and the grace of his style readily awoke the responsive echoes in the chambers of my awakening soul.
