Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sermon, Commemorative of Our National Bereavement: Preached April 19, 1865, in the Presbyterian Church, Geneva
Abraham lincoln, our noble President, has fallen, - fallen by a vile assassin's hand, in the prime of his strength, and in the hour of dawning peace and triumph. As the sad news has flashed throughout the land, how have the hearts of mil lions been pierced with sorrow, and many cheeks been wet with tears. The nation weeps. As when the Father of his Coun try laid down in death the land was filled with mourning, so now, when he who has been to us a second Washington is gone.
