Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Uncrowned Nation, a Discourse Commemorative of the Death of Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States: Preached in the First Presbyterian Church of Plattsburgh, N. Y. April 19, 1865 Lamentations V: 15, 16. - "The joy op our heart is ceased; Our Dance Is Turned Into Mourning. The Crown Is Fallen Prom Our Head." The world´s history cannot often have shown a more sudden and violent alternation of public feeling, than that which our nation has just suffered. A fortnight ago we were jubilant, as at no previous day of these times of frequent and high excitement. We had before hung out our flags, raised our huzzas, rang our bells, fired our salutes, and lighted our bonfires. But then there was a brimming and overrunning fullness of exultation, which rose from the assurance that our victories were not temporary and inconclusive, but presages of the certain and early end of that conspiracy against our government, gigantic in dimensions and wickedness, with which for four years we have been in a death-grapple. We felt when the capital of the rebellion was captured, that its heart was pierced, and its life already paralyzed at the extremities, must beat with ever feebler pulsations, and soon expire. Therefore we gave loose to our joys. Then as in daily succession, the tidings came to us of the army of the vanquished, dwindling in its flight, and at last surrendering and disbanding, our enthusiasm by its protracted exercise became spent, and subsided from open demonstration into calm and deep satisfaction.
