Carr, Clark Ezra. Lincoln at Gettysburg. **$1. McClurg.
Written primarily as an address and delivered before the State historical society of Illinois, Mr. Carr’s effort may be considered an appreciation well worth the time of any student and reader. He sketches the transition from the disappointment of the assembled Gettysburg multitude, over Lincoln’s speech to the dawning realization that it was a masterpiece of oratory, and a “crowning triumph of literary achievement.”
