Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Memoriam William Harrison Lambert: May, 1842 June, 1912; First President of the Lincoln Fellowship In the autumn of 1907 some two admirers of Abraham Lincoln met together at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, and organized a society to be known as The Lincoln Fellowship. The membership consisted chiefly of collectors of Lincolniana, and Major William H. Lambert, of Philadelphia, was very properly and unanimously elected first president of the new association, he being the most celebrated of that numerous class now numbering more than five hundred in the United States. The Fellowship also included a number of those who had written more or less concerning the extraordinary American who is the gentlest memory of the New World. At the first annual dinner of the Society, held at Delmonico´s, New York, Major Lambert presided, as he did at all the annual banquets which followed at the same place, and always on the anniversary of the Martyr-President´s birth. On another of these pleasant occasions the Fellowship presented Major Lambert with a handsome Lincoln medal designed by Roine in commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the day of his birth in that annus mirabilis, 1809, in which year were also born Gladstone, Tennyson, Darwin, Holmes and a host of other great heirs of fame.
