The Character of Abraham Lincoln: A Discourse Delivered April 23d, 1865, at Strawn's Hall, Jacksonville, Ill (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Character of Abraham Lincoln: A Discourse Delivered April 23d, 1865, at Strawn's Hall, Jacksonville, Ill

And, I doubt not, this is the light in which history, when it shall be impartially written in a subsequent age, will place the name and character of Abraham Lincoln, late Chief Magistrate of the United States, and whose untimely and tragic end has shrouded a continent in gloom, and will send a thrill of horror around the globe. The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places; how are the mighty fallen! Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel 2.
