Sinossi
Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, 1921, Vol. 20
Deeply sensible of the privileges of the opportunity you have afforded me, I undertake the discharge of its obligations with a seriousness of intent and an earnestness of purpose which I trust will win me the consideration accorded to honest endeavor.
Rare, indeed, is it that any man whose station is merely that of a private citizen of our Republic is permitted to address so distinguished an assemblage, amid such historic surroundings, on so happy an occasion. And profoundly do I appreciate the honor. Without further preliminary save this assurance, therefore, I enter upon my pleasant task.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. A profound meditation on the lives of two of the United States' most consequential leaders - George Washington and Abraham Lincoln - this book analyzes the men who served as the bookends of the definitive era in American history. The author argues that they are linked by cause and consequence, as Washington's victories in the American Revolution made possible Lincoln's preservation of the Union during the Civil War. These men came from vastly different worlds, and yet the author posits that their shared characteristics of honesty, purity, dignity, sanity, restraint, self control, ability, and courage led them both to do what was right for their country as they saw it. The book also explores the differing roles of aristocracy and democracy in Washington's and Lincoln's times, raising questions about the evolution of leadership, the vulnerabilities of power, and the struggle for human liberty that remains as relevant today as it was in the past.
