Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Prospect: The Speech of Rev. N. G. Collins, Chaplain of the 57th Illinois, at Corinth, Miss., On the Day of National Thanksgiving, Aug; 3. '63, to the Officers and Men of Col. Bane's Brigade

But for this the empire would in a short time be bro ken into fragments.
