Excerpt from Amendments of the Constitution, Submitted to the Consideration of the American PeopleWhen those Fairs in behalf of the Sanitary Commission were planned on a scale, and crowned with a success, which form an ennobling characteristic of our period of bitter strife, all - the wealthy and the needy - freely gave their share to these large markets, by which millions upon millions have ¿owed to the Commission, to be changed by them into balmy relief for our wounded soldiers, and the bleeding foes who fall into our hands. All have helped to swell this steady stream of mercy - deep, wide, clear, as Dante calls the stream of Virgil's eloquence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
