Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lincoln and Views as to the Relative Positions of the Late President and the Late William Sta Seward
Of the eight persons who constituted the Executive Council, and administered the government during the dark days of our country's December, four, besides the two eminent characters adverted to in the Memorial Ad dress, had closed their earthly pilgrimage. Only two mem bers of the Cabinet who first met around that council board, and conferred together through most of the years of President Lincoln's Administration, survived to speak from personal knowledge of the acts, qualifications and services of their chief, and those with whom they had been associated in that trying period.
