Excerpt from An Address on the Character and Example of President Lincoln
Taking into view both the depth of the lamentation and its universality, I run no hazard in asserting that never was man so mourned before.
And now that the first shock Of our mighty sorrow is over, it is well to ask what it was in the character and the services Of the departed statesman and magistrate that won for him this majestic testimonial of the tears of a na tion and a world. It is because I deem that such an in quiry will be instructive to us all, that I have yielded to your kind invitation to address you upon this theme. I shall, perhaps, best answer the question by successively reviewing some Of the prominent points in our lamented President's career.
