April 15, 1865, "A Nation's Sorrow - A Sermon Preached On The Sabbath After The Assassination Of President Lincoln," Very Fine. 9.75" x 6", 11 pages plus paper covers. Light soiling on the outer covers but nice and clean on the inside. Lincoln's murder was a huge blow to the American conscience, and clergymen throughout the nation attempted to heal their flocks, or at least help them to understand what had happened, in their Sunday sermons. Preached by Reverend Leonard Swain of the Central Congregational Church of Providence, (RI). This is but one example of many sermons that were published and that are now eagerly collected today. They give us a good sense of what the country felt even before the perpetrators were caught and justice was served.
