Poetical Tributes To The Memory Of Abraham Lincoln Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Poetical Tributes to the Memory of Abraham Lincoln IN the preparation of this volume it has been the purpose of the publishers to preserve, in perma nent form, the spontaneous tributes of esteem and affection tendered to the memory of our late beloved President by the poetical writers of our own and other countries. It seems especially fitting that the tender regard which Mr. Lincoln had won for himself during the four eventful years of his Presi dency, and which has found so many and such heartfelt expressions since his untimely death, should have a lasting record; and both for the gratification of those who have mingled their tears over the remains of the illustrious dead, and as an evidence to future generations of how wise and great and good we thought him, this volume is now put forth.
