War-date eulogy for Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Boothby, 1st Maine Cavalry, who was mortally wounded in action at Spotsylvania Court House, 32pp. quarto, titled "Violence & Mourning", by N. Milton Wood, Lewiston, Maine, June 1864, and leads off with "Hosea 4:2,3 'By swearing & lying & killing & stealing & committing adultery, they break out, & blood toucheth blood; therefore shall the land mourn.' The characteristics of depravity appear the same everywhere in all ages. Hence descriptions given of evil men, as in individuals or as nations, may be constantly repeated in succeeding times, even tho widely separated with just application. Thus is comes that we find it so easy to characterize men & acts of the present day by language taken from the sacred history...Every one of these crimes has been committed by those who have risen up to assail the peace of the land & to subvert the government & blood has flowed in streams..." Much more. Very good condition.
