Eulogy of Abraham Lincoln
Sixteenth President of the United States (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Eulogy of Abraham Lincoln: Sixteenth President of the United States

Dear Sir:

At a meeting of the Committee of Arrangements, it was voted that we louder you our thanks for the Eulogy pronounced by you upon the late President of the United States, and, in accordance with another vote, and a general desire of the citizens of Saco to have the same published in pamphlet form for preservation and reference hereafter by the community, we request, if convenient and agreeable to yourself, a copy of the same for publication.
Gentlemen:

When on Monday, the 17th inst., you requested me to pronounce a eulogy of the late President of the United States, upon the 17th inst., the shortness of time and the great depression of feeling consequent upon the awful intelligence of his death, then just received, forcibly impressed me with the great embarrassment under which I should undertake the task. Nevertheless, as I then toll you, I did not feel at liberty to decline the request. If the sentiments by me expressed upon that occasion are in sympathy with the feelings of the community, as 1 trust they are, I shall cheerfully furnish you with a copy of the same for publication, trusting the circumstance under which they were produced will be considered some apology for their imperfect presentation.
