1900. Julia Ward Howe, creator of the Battle Hymn of the Republic,
writes in the introduction: The present volume preserves for our
instruction the arguments which make evident the steps of this
progress; at first, so painful, in the end, so triumphant. The
voices which awoke the echoes of our own halls of Congress with
fiery threats, with prophetic admonitions, the mistaken pleading
which urged on the war, and the counter pleading which kept in
sight the true issue, yes, and the simple, wise eloquence of the
Martyr President's parting address-all this is given to the public
in the work now offered to it. Some of the orators included in this
text are: John Quincy Adams; Irving Bacheller; Benjamin F. Butler;
Henry Clay; Samuel L. Clemens; Jefferson Davis; Frederick Douglass;
James A. Garfield; Patrick Henry; Abraham Lincoln; Wendell
Phillips; Elizabeth Cady Stanton; Daniel Webster; Frances E.
Willard; and many more.
