Excerpt from A Discourse on the Death of Abraham Lincoln: Late President of the United State of America, Delivered Tuesday May 2, 1865 in the Dorotheen-Church, BerlinMore than half a century ago the rights of Free-Labor were acknowledged and established, in Prussia, by the Edict of Oct. 9, 1807.By the law of March 9, 1857, the sublime principle, that no slave can set his foot on the soil of Prussia, can breathe the air of Prussia, was proclaimed. The moment he steps within the boundaries of Prussia, he is free.For the rights of Free-Labor, and to banish from the soil and the air of America the foul and blighting taint of slavery, a dreadful war has been carried on for four years. At the close of this war, and in the very hour of victory and triumph, our great Leader has fallen, and sealed the great and holy cause with the blood of martyrdom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
