Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Presidents´ Mothers, Wives and Daughters and Some Washington Sermons "Professor Thomas N. Haskell has had published in a neat volume his poems entitled "The Wives of Our Presidents" and some "Washington Sermons," delivered at the National Capitol immediately preceding and during the period of the Civil war. "The Presidential Sketches" celebrate in stately verse the characteristics of the women who have presided in the "White House," from Martha Washington to Mrs. McKinley, and due homage is paid to the splendid womanhood that has found a home in the official residence of the nation. The sermons include his first address in the Federal City on "Duty and Interest (May Ii, 1854); a "Discourse on Immortality and Its Issues," before President Pierce: "The History of the Bible and Its Influence on Civilization," delivered the night before Buchanan´s inaugural, and "God, Providence and the President´s Oath." on the eve of Lincoln´s first inauguration. Two of the most noted sermons are "The American Soldier´s Mission," preached to the "Massachusetts First," just prior to its departure for Washington; and on "Lincoln´s Assassination," delivered to the bereft congregation, while the martyr´s body was borne west for burial. These addresses reflect the vigorous patriotism and intense national spirit of the time, and suggest the very direct influence the pulpit exercised on the thought of that day. The volume is fully illustrated, well printed and bound, and its contents will add to Professor Haskell´s reputation as an author and a master of a chaste English style." - Rocky Mountain News (March, 1901.) "The absorbing interest of the American people in the daily life, habits and personality of our Presidents, yields occasionally to the popular love and admiration for the Presidents´ Wives, ´the first ladies of the land.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
