Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Jewels: Washington, Lincoln, and the Fathers of the Revolution Now that the gigantic Rebellion which persistently held out for four long years, spreading desolation throughout the whole country, East West, North, and South, forcibly reminding us of the passage, "In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted, because they are not: " now that the rebellion is happily over, should not all, in every portion of the country, pray for a permanent peace, and that Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, may so reign on this green, beautiful earth, that "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more"? In some cases, however - "Perhaps war is but Heaven's great ploughshare, driven Over the barren, fallow earthly fields, Preparing them for harvest; rooting up Grass, weeds, and flowers, which necessary fall, That in these furrows the wise husbandman May drop celestial seed." I have asked myself the question, What can I do in order to benefit my redeemed, beloved country, of which I can enthusiastically say - "Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light?" In answering this important question, I have settled down on this point: That I can do good by arranging and presenting in an inviting form the great patriotic sentiments of our national benefactors, "of whom the world was not worthy;" and last, but by no means least, in this bright galaxy we place our martyred illustrious successor of the great immortal Washington, the Father of his country. His Inaugurals show good-will to all sections of his beloved country, and "malice towards none." What he has said, as set forth in this unpretending volume, will be read by generations now unborn, and all will be ready to say, "What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
