Lincoln; A Typical American: An Address by Thomas W. Cridler at the Banquet of the Union League Club of Brooklyn, February 12, 1901 (Classic Reprint) by Thomas W Cridler (Paperback / softback, 2017)
Excerpt from Lincoln; A Typical American: An Address by Thomas W. Cridler at the Banquet of the Union League Club of Brooklyn, February 12, 1901 I can t hope to say much that is interesting or anything that is new or that will materially enhance the name and fame of that great man. All this has been said years ago - said by abler men in their own vel and inimitable way. The official record proclaims it; history records it. There is, there fore, little concerning Lincoln that the world does t kw and thing that it does t justly admire. A few thoughts, however, suggest themselves; and, if your patience will bear the strain, I will endeavor to give expression to them. It is t my province to even briefly review the life of Lincoln. That would be a useless task, quite out of keeping on such. An occasion, sincethese details are well kwn to you as to all patri otic Americans. Indeed, save Washington alone, the world at large (to which Lincoln belonged in its broadest sense) is more familiar with his life, his character, and his career than with those of any other American who ever lived.
