Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse on the Character and Death of John Brown: Delivered in Martinsburgh, N. Y. Dec; 12, 1859 My "Discourse on the Character and Death of John Brown" was published immediately after its delivery, in compliance with the wishes of a very few radical abolitionists. It was favorably noticed by the New York Independent and some other public journals, by reason of which I received numerous orders for it from all parts of the Northern States, which soon exhausted the edition. In the summer of 1860 I also received letters from Hon. Gerrit Smith, Rev. Dr. Cheever, and other leading abolitionists, expressing hearty approval of the discourse, after which it slumbered for six years almost as quietly as "John Brown´s body - in the grave." But since the close of the war I have received numerous letters asking for copies of it, for which reason I have had published this second edition. I have taken the liberty of publishing herewith one of the letters above referred to, as also an introduction by my revered friend Dr. J. H. Morison, of Boston. My Dear Sir: I send herewith the John Brown sermon. Accept our thanks for the privilege of seeing what you said in those troublous times, of the scenes of deep interest then transpiring. A friend seeing it on my desk wished very much to have it to send abroad, to a friend of Lord Byron. I told him it was your only copy. He said his friend Mr. J. E. T., of England, had a portrait of John Brown, and was a great admirer of his, for which reason he wished to send him the sermon - which my friend has read and likes very much. He has given me a check for $100 (which I enclose), and in return wishes a copy of the sermon, if it can be obtained.
