A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The tokens of grief and indignation so generally shown, when it was made certain that A braham Lincoln was dead, gave at once the clearest proof, not only of the deep detestation with which his foul assassination was regarded, but also of the warm esteem in which he, who for four years had guided the afiairs of the nation, was held as a ruler and as a man. In many countries an event of this nature, happening at such a juncture of afiairs, would have been followed by an uprising of the people, resulting in scenes of indiscriminate and passionate vengeance. Here, however, a different result was witnessed. In a few instances, men of virulent nature and seemingly lost to human sensibility, who had expressed a modified approval of the dreadful deed, received unmistakable warning of the danger of indulging a sentiment so brutal. But the indignation of loyal men found vent, for the most part, in efibrts to arrest the murderer and his abettors, whoever they might be, and in demands for their condign punishment.
