Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from One Thousand New Illustrations for the Pulpit, Platform, and Class: With Exhaustive Subject and Textual Indices After the battle of Antietam, General Jackson sent a despatch to General Lee announcing his intention to capitulate to the Federal forces, and then rode up to Bolivar and thence down to Harper´s Ferry. The curiosity in the army to see Jackson was so great that the soldiers lined the sides of the road. Many of them uncovered as he passed, and he invariably returned the salute. One man had an echo of response all about him when he said aloud, "Boys, hes not much for looks; but if we´d had him we shouldn´t have been caught in this trap!" In 1831 there was a musical society in Milan which was preparing to bring out Haydn´s "Creation," when all of a sudden the maestro in charge took fright at the difficulty of his task, and laid down his baton. One Masini, a singing-teacher, who was to direct the choral part, said to the committee, "I know but one man here who can help us out of our plight." "Who is he?" said Count Borromeo, the president. "His name is Verdi, and he reads the most puzzling scores at sight," was Masini´s answer. "Well," said the count, "send for him."
