Book Description

Excerpt from Eulogy on the Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: Before the City Government of Manchester, N. H. June 1st, 1865 Sir: I have the honor to be charged with communicating to you a copy of a Resolution passed by the City Council last evening: Resolved, by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of Manchester, in City Council assembled, as follows: That the thanks of the City be tendered to the Hon. Daniel Clark, Senator in Congress from this State, for the very able and eloquent Eulogy pronounced by him before the City Council and citizens of Manchester, upon the life and character of our late illustrious President, Abraham Lincoln, upon the occasion of the late National Fast, and that he be requested to furnish a copy for publication. In accordance with the above Resolution, you are solicited to furnish a copy of the Eulogy at your earliest convenience. By order and in behalf of the City Council. Dear Sir: I have received your note of this date, communicating a copy of the Resolution of the Mayor and Aldermen and Common Council. While I cannot but feel that no eulogy can do full and ample justice to the life and character of our lamented President, I do not feel at liberty to disregard the wishes of the City Council so kindly expressed, and I submit herewith a copy for publication.
