Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln: And Its Expiation The assassination of Abraham Lincoln was a crime so revolting, so unprovoked and from every point of view so gratuitous and maleficent that it has found no open, and scarcely a secret, apologist even amongst the public enemies of the illustrious victim. The banded slayers of "the mightiest Julius" have found defenders down to the present day. The single-handed assassins of William the Silent and of the Great Henry of France - each was actuated by fanatical devotion to a creed, many of the votaries of which regarded them as but instruments in the hand of an insulted Deity. But neither resistance to tyrants nor obedience to God ever has been pleaded in extenuation of the taking-off of this tribune of the plain people, "with malice toward none, with charity for all." So world-shocking an event, with its train of dramatic incidents, should not be left "compassed murkily about" by the "din and dust" of popular fury raised by an overwhelming calamity to the nation. No circumstance should remain doubtful, no detail obscure. Every stroke of the brush should be true to nature and fact; the lights and shades evenly distributed; and every unverified tradition traced to its source.
