Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Henry Wilson, (Vice-President of the United States): Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, January 21, 1876, With Other Congressional Tributes of Respect Rev. XIV, 13: And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence forth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. All that is mortal of henry wilson, of Massachusetts, Vice President of the United States, lies enshrined in death's stillness before us. He rests from his labors, and his works do follow him. The nation pauses in her grief beside his open grave. Her great men, her chief captains, her mighty men, every bondman that was. And every freeman that is, brings some tribute of honor and of love to lay upon his dust. Her deep-voiced cannon lament him. Her' proud ensign, which his twenty years of public service contributed so much to leave full high advanced, ay, to cleanse of every stigma and shame in the world's eye, and in the eye of posterity, droops tenderly above him. Even Nature herself has put on the spirit of heaviness, and the very clouds drop tears. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
