This volume contains the oration delivered by Frederick T. Frelinghuysen in Newark, New Jersey, on April 19, 1865, as part of the obsequies for President Abraham Lincoln. In this moving tribute, Frelinghuysen reflects on Lincoln's life, his leadership during the tumultuous years of the Civil War, and his tragic assassination.
