Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Charles Sumner In the belief that a Life of Charles Sumner, our great Senator, written in a somewhat popular style, would be welcomed by the public, this work has been carefully prepared from the most authentic sources. The writers have had access to private papers, and other sources of information, which have enabled them to give some hitherto unpublished incidents and letters. The works of Mr. Sumner have been carefully examined, and fitting selections from his speeches have been incorporated in the biography. His addresses are an integral part of the history of the times in which he lived, and they largely reveal his character. A full survey of Mr. Sumner's public career has not been attempted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Charles Sumner May it please your Excellency - We are commanded by the Senate of the United States to render back to you your illustrious dead. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, you dedicated to the public service a man who was even then greatly distinguished. He remained in it, quickening its patriotism, informing its councils, and leading in its deliberations, until having survived in continuous service all his original associates, he has closed his earthly career. With reverent hands we bring to you his mortal part, that it may be committed to the soil of the Commonwealth, already renowned, that gave him birth. Take it; it is yours. The part which we do not return to you, is not wholly yours to receive; nor altogether ours to give. It belongs to the country, to mankind, to freedom, to civilization, to humanity. We come to you with emblems of mourning which faintly typify the sorrow that dwells in the breasts upon which they lie. So much is due to the infirmity of human nature. But, in the view of reason and philosophy, is it not rather a matter of exultation, that a life so pure in its personal qualities, so high in its public aims, so fortunate in the fruition of noble effort, has closed safely before age had marred its intellectual vigor, before time had dimmed the lustre of its genius. May it please your Excellency - Our mission is completed. We commit to you the body of Charles Sumner. His undying fame the Muse of history has already taken in her keeping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Sumner Time has dealt very differently with the leading characters in the great drama of the nineteenth century. At the end of the war, in the opinion of the best informed and most judicial historian of the period, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Sumner were "the two most influential men in public life." On the very day of his death, the President intimated that the thwarting of his reconstruction policy had been due to Sumner's opposition. To-day Lincoln's name is a household word; his memory is revered hardly less in the South than in the North; the new generation understands and appreciates him far better than did the men among whom his work was done. But Sumner's figure has been crowded into the background. Ask intelligent men of affairs born since 1860 for an account of his character and career, and few will recall more than that he was an anti-slavery orator, whose assault by Brooks in the Senate chamber greatly intensified the bitterness between North and South. What manner of impress Sumner is making upon yet younger America was tested a few months ago in the examination of applicants for admission to a Massachusetts college. Not one in ten of those boys in the commonwealth which Summer any intelligent knowledge of the man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

[Great applause.] Such is the victory we celebrate, marking an epoch in our history and in the history of the world. But beyond immediate victory are two things not usually occurring together. - a funeral and a birth. [Great laughter and applause.] The funeral we celebrate is of the Democratic party, which we bury to-night with all the dishonors that belong to it.
