The Lincoln Centenary In Literature PDF Download

Excerpt from The Lincoln Centenary in Literature: Selections From the Principal Magazines of February and March, 1909, Together With a Few From 1907-1908 As I understand it, the place of honor is on the main axis of the plan. Lincoln, of all Americans next to Washington, deserves this place of honor. He was of the immortals. You must not approach too close to the immortals. His monument should stand alone, remote from the common habitations of man, apart from the business and turmoil of th city - isolated, distinguished, and serene. Of all the sites, this one, near the Potcmac, is most suited to the purpose. John hay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
