Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Oration, Vol. 3

I esteem it a great honor to be permitted to address you, and yet no words can express my feelings or the way in which I shrink, before the monument inscribed with this historic name, from attempting any comprehensive or just eulogy of the man we all honor. I almost wish it were possible for these lips to speak again and this face to shine again with that inner light which moved it when he addressed audiences on earth.

When Michael Angelo had finished his statue of Moses he smote it with his hammer in his rapture, crying "Now speak," as if he somehow believed that the gift of speech might be added to his conception of the man in marble. I could wish the man in bronze, whose memory is dear to us, could speak to-day. But he does speak, and with silent, mighty power his voice has come down to us through the decades. Moreover, there is an accumulation of earnestness and potency after these decades and since history has more and more truly put him in his place as one of the foremost, if not the foremost, historic name in the nation.
