A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dark, indeed, is the history of assassinations. But in its long and cruel records no crime has ever paralleled in atrocity the murder of A braham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, whoss name will forever stand out conspicuously on the roll of infamy as that of the arch-assassin. Rome mourned the tragic end of Caesar; France wept over the downfall, exile, and death of Napoleon; the Netherlands were inconsolable at the loss of the illustrious Prince of Orange; but no people of ancient or modern times ever felt a more profound sorrow over the death of their foremost man, or ever paid to his memory a more sincere and universal tribute of veneration, love, and tears, than did the American nation on the occasion of the cruel, wanton assassination of their beloved President. Shocking to the civilized world as was his sudden taking off, the name of A braham Lincoln has risen to shine as a star of the first magnitude in the galaxy of History smost influential characters, never to be eclipsed by the fame of a greater or a better man.
