| | 326 | Author: | Schurz, Carl, 1829-1906 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Abraham Lincoln : an essay  | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | NO American can study the character and career of Abraham Lincoln without being
carried away by sentimental emotions. We are always inclined to idealize that
which we love,—a state of mind very unfavorable to the exercise of
sober critical judgment. It is therefore not surprising that most of those who
have written or spoken on that extraordinary man, even while conscientiously
endeavoring to draw a lifelike portraiture of his being, and to form a just
estimate of his public conduct, should have drifted into more or less
indiscriminating eulogy, painting his great features in the most glowing colors,
and covering with tender shadings whatever might look like a blemish. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

illustrations by N.C. Wyeth. | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | IT WAS IN 1590—winter. Austria was far away from the world, and
asleep; it was still the Middle Ages in Austria, and promised to remain so
forever. Some even set it away back centuries upon centuries and said that by
the mental and spiritual clock it was still the Age of Belief in Austria. But
they meant it as a compliment, not a slur, and it was so taken, and we were all
proud of it. I remember it well, although I was only a boy; and I remember, too,
the pleasure it gave me. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

October 1861 | | | | Published: | 2000 | | | | Subjects: | The Corinne Carr Nettleton Civil War Collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-Nettletoncivilwarletters | | | | Description: | I have heard gentlemen make the remark that when ladies began to write with a lead
pencil to them, they guessed she wished to discontinue their correspondence But when you receive this, written with
a pencil and on such paper I imagine that you will think worse than that, but do
not harbor the thought for one instan dear Charlie that my feelings are such for indeed they are not I have no other paper, and my pens have all “got
poor” therefore you will excuse this will you not? for I thought it
necessary to write immediately as
Capt. Aspen is in Warren and I do not know as I will get a chance to send again, nor do I know
when he returns to war. Where are you to day
are you engaged in some bloody battle or are you reposing in
security in your tent or on some bed of sickness.
How often my thoughts
thoughts been with you to day There seems to be a presentiment of evil hovering round me, and my thoughts are with Hal
and yourself, Can it be that you are in danger and some rebel
strike—God forbid. I must dispel
such thoughts. But would that I were near you. then I could feel
that let come what might I would know all. I have a sad and gloomy spirit
to day not much like the gay and joyous Addie that Hal used to tell about but lasteveI was to a sewing bee for the soldiers. and I caused a strange feeling to thrill
through me which is hard to dispel | | | Similar Items: | Find |

letters last saturday and I can assure you that it afforded much
pleasure. Charlie if you could witness the eagerness with
which I grasp your letters you would not hesitate to leave your work
to write to me. But of course I would not ask you to if you could not
do so with convenience. I think you must have
received another letter from me since you wrote
about the 12th of this month. This is a beautiful day rather
cool but not more so than we should expect for the season. Mr.
James Beebe of
Ohio Seventh is here. I do not feel so much like entertaining him as I do
Tenney of said Regt and therefore
act accordingly. He is trying to guess who I am writing to | | | Similar Items: | Find |
