Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ceremonies in Commemoration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Abraham Lincoln, Philadelphia, February 12, 1909
It is not necessary for me to announce to you the reasons for our meeting here tonight. I am pleased to say that the Nation has set apart this day in commemoration of the birth of the greatest American of modern times. We have had our Washington, Hamilton, Cal houn, and Webster of more modern times. Men of all shades of politics and policies, but it remained for the greatest glory to fall upon the head and shoulders of the great emancipator, and though republican in name, the greatest democrat in all that it means as a man of the people, Abraham Lincoln.
