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)
(Excerpt from Lincoln; A Typical American: An Address by T...)
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 confess to no little trepidation in rising to address this company on the ninety-second anniversary of the birth of the lamented Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President of the United States. Certainly the theme is sufficiently inspiring, but when he was at the zenith of his fame - and he was that when he was murdered - I was a mere schoolboy and naturally less interested in the political history of our country than I am to-day. I can not 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 novel and inimitable way. The official record proclaims it; history records it. There is, therefore, little concerning Lincoln that the world does not know and nothing that it does not 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 not my province to even briefly review the life of Lincoln.
