Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse, Commemorative of the Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: Late President of the United States, Delivered April 23, 1865 Zech 12.-12 - "And the land shall mourn - every family apart." This language of the ancient prophet of God finds to-day a striking and impressive fulfillment. On every hand the emblems of mourning are seen, and the great heart of the nation seems to beat heavily as if burdened with its mighty sorrow. Our public thoroughfares and edifices are shrouded in gloom. The busy marts of trade are stilled with the silence of death, and all things betoken a nation's profoundest grief. Our flag - the loved symbol of our nationality - dearer far than ever before, because of the sacred affections of the thousands of faithful hearts that arc entwined around it, and have bled and died to shield it from stain or dishonor - this too is draped in the habiliments of mourning, and is lowered to but half its wonted height in token of our universal woe. The booming cannon - the tolling bells - the funeral dirges - the slowly moving processions, with reversed arms and muffled drums - the sad and downcast expression, the tearful eye, as friend meets friend - all indicate that this is no empty pageant, but that patriot hearts are bowed down with a sense of some great public calamity. But why is this, when so recently these hearts were bounding with joy and gladness in view of the many and splendid victories achieved, and the bright prospects of returning peace?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uniter and Liberator of America: A Memorial Discourse on the Character and Career of Abraham Lincoln; Delivered in the North Russell Street M. E. Church, Boston, Sunday, April 23, 1865 Thy gentleness hath made me great. Ps. xviii. 35. He saved others, himself he cannot save. Matt, xxvii. 42. All nations shall call him blessed. Ps. lxxii. 17. The appalling deed of the last. Good Friday begins to put on the fixed lineaments of the past. As that face and form, then so full of life, are frozen in death, so he who animated them is fast becoming solidified and shapen in the unchanging marble of history. Still standing in the horrible shadow, how can we carve the features of the immortal dead? The chisel shakes in our trembling hand. The rain of sorrow blinds our eyes. In the ghastly darkness, we but faintly discern the spiritual form that has so suddenly been struck from its earthly home and has forever vanished from the eyes of man. He, who but yesterday was the centre of all human observation; whose every word, as he himself declared but three nights before his death, was in no unimportant sense a national decree; from whom were the issues of life and death to the imperious leaders of the rebellion and their too willing subjects; upon whose course foreign potentates fastened watchful eyes, and foreign peoples were yet more intent; the foremost man in all the world; - now lies he low in his bloody shroud. A nation weeps around his bier. The world bemoans his fate. Never before did so wide and bitter a cry pierce the skies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Character of Abraham Lincoln: A Discourse Preached in the Westminster Church, Providence, R. I. Thursday, June 1, 1865 Ever. Surely, this man was the'most cordially beloved, the most widely respected of any man within the bor ders of the Republic. The rich and the poor, the wise and the simple, the scholar and the unlettered seem to emulate one another as they unite in paying honor to his memory. Even his foes in arms against him had learned to admire him and they who fought him shed tears of genuine sorrow when they heard of the fatal deed that struck him out of life. All this, perhaps, was to be expected. But that this plain Republican, bringing an honest heart and a sagacious mind to the direction of public affairs in a time of unexampled difficulty, should so have won over to him the hearts of men throughout the civilized world, - should have so con quered their prejudices, by the sheer and simple force of his upright and truthful character, - should have so closely touched and so completely moved the best part of human nature and of mankind - that was hardly to be hoped. We knew how coldly Europe had looked upon us; how chary of its sympathy, nay, how hostile in its sentiments, it had been. We knew how utterly incongruous with all the preconceptions, the traditional ideas, the long established formalism of European soci ety, our President, and the movement which he repre sented and which he led, were thought to be. We knew how slow the conventionalism of the old world was to recognize any worth or any ability, except as it bore the stamp of regularity. It was almost too much to believe, that the old world would see with the eye of the new. We thought that we were partial, and that possibly a disinterested judgment, or a judgment that was affected by unfriendly prejudices might reverse our decision, and depreciate our estimate. But as we read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: An Address Delivered at the Hall of the Normal University, Normal, Ill., April 19, 1865 F our four items, the Edwards sermon is one of the scarcest. We can find no record of any copy sold, before the Burton sale of 1915 (where it brought and it is on the want list of leading collectors. The poem by Hon. B. B. French is also scarce, only seventy five copies having been printed. We have added Punch's tribute to Mr. Lincoln, as particularly appropriate. The Prayer of the Presidents is a scarce and also a peculiar item. Its author is given as F. S. Abiff, but the real name, as a Boston correspondent informs us, is unknown. The Holt address, to our mind, is one of the most interesting Lincoln items to be found. It is the only solution ever given to the mystery heretofore attaching to Lincoln's famous optical illusion of 1860.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nation's Sacrifice, Abraham Lincoln: Two Discourses, Delivered on Sunday Morning, April 16, and Wednesday Morning, April 19, 1865, in the Church of the Redeemer, Cincinnati, Ohio "Without shedding of blood is no remission." - Heb. ix, 22. When God is speaking, who shall open his mouth! He speaks to us to-day, and his word is the old voice of inspiration: "Without shedding of blood is no remission." All shedding of blood is by God's permission. Not one act of violence, not one destruction of life, not one drop of human blood shed, without his knowledge and consent. For God is infinite love, and in His perfect providence all things work together for good. Even the things that seem so terrible that men tremble as if there were a Prince of Darkness, and he were master of the universe, are compelled to do His sovereign will. He maketh the wrath of man to praise him, and the remainder of wrath shall He restrain. Ever since the beginning of the world the friends of falsehood and sin have believed that the right could be put down by shedding the blood of the righteous. Cain believed he could destroy the true worship of God by slaying Abel, the servant of God. And since his day every wicked and foolish man, every great despot, every God-defying class, every desperate member of every party of unrighteousness the world has seen has been crazed by this stupendous delusion that the Truth and Justice and Holiness of God Almighty could be driven away from the earth by killing the friends of God and man. So the world, for four thousand years, has been full of blood. None of it rests upon the hands of the consistent friends of God and man, for all they have shed has been in defense of everlasting righteousness.

Book excerpt: Speeches and Letters of Abraham Lincoln, 1832-1865: Large Print By Abraham Lincoln INTRODUCTION No man since Washington has become to Americans so familiar or so beloved a figure as Abraham Lincoln. He is to them the representative and typical American, the man who best embodies the political ideals of the nation. He is typical in the fact that he sprang from the masses of the people, that he remained through his whole career a man of the people, that his chief desire was to be in accord with the beliefs and wishes of the people, that he never failed to trust in the people and to rely on their support. Every native American knows his life and his speeches. His anecdotes and witticisms have passed into the thought and the conversation of the whole nation as those of no other statesman have done.

Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country's most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the "Westerner" who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn't live to witness his own accomplishment, becoming the first president assassinated when he was killed at Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country's most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the "Westerner" who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn't live to witness his own accomplishment, becoming the first president assassinated when he was killed at Ford's Theater by John Wilkes Booth. As impressive as his presidency was, one of his most lasting legacies was his writing. In addition to masterful writing for everything from orders to his generals and condolences to the aggrieved Mrs. Bixby, his Second Inaugural Address and Gettysburg Address are considered masterpieces that rate among the greatest writings in American history. Perhaps Lincoln's most impressive feat is that he was able to convey so much with so few words; after famous orator Edward Everett spoke for hours at Gettysburg, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address only took a few minutes. In the generation after the Civil War, Lincoln became an American deity and one of the most written about men in history. Understandably, all of his writings and papers were intently scoured and collected, and they've been preserved in seven volumes of Papers and Writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we, as a people, can be engaged in. That every man may receive at least a moderate education, and thereby be enabled to read the histories of his own and other countries, by which he may duly appreciate the value of our free institutions, appears to be an object of vital importance, even on this account alone, to say nothing of the advantages and satisfaction to be derived from all being able to read the Scriptures and other works, both of a religious and moral nature, for themselves. For my part, I desire to see the time when education-and by its means morality, sobriety, enterprise, and industry- shall become much more general than at present; and should be gratified to have it in my power to contribute something to the advancement of any measure which might have a tendency to accelerate that happy period.

Book excerpt: The most essential writings of America’s heroic Civil War president, complete with detailed notes, a chronology of Lincoln’s life and political career, and an introduction by the novelist Gore Vidal.

They record Lincoln's campaigns for public office; the evolution of his stand against slavery; his electrifying debates with Stephen Douglas; his conduct of the Civil War; and the great public utterances of his presidency, including the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address. Library of America Paperback Classics feature authoritative texts drawn from the acclaimed Library of America series and introduced by today's most distinguished scholars and writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Words of Abraham Lincoln One who appreciates the Gettysburg address and the two inaugurals is not content unless he can go further. There is much in Lincoln's writings of the highest literary quality. There is much more that justifies the student of American history in continuing his study of Lincoln. In the prepara tion of this collection the editor has had in mind the chief value which it should possess for the reader. That value is to be found in the revelation which his writings give of the personality of one of the greatest public characters in all history. So those speeches and letters have been chosen which reveal the most of the man, Lincoln. With this in view, the notes are meant to explain the man and the occa sion, and with the letters give such information as will enable the reader to understand better why the letters were written and who Lincoln's correspondents were. The few obvious errors in grammatical or rhetorical form are not noted. The split infinitive is one of Lincoln's com monest failings, but the critical student can find better use for his time than in hunting for faults.
