Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Shall the Lincoln Memorial Be?
It is unnecessary, and it would manifestlv be improper, to bring Washington and Lincoln mto contrast. Each was supremely great in his own way and at his own time. Probably neither could have taken the place or have done the work of the other. But to propose a shaft of any kind as the Lincoln Memorial would inevitably result in themaking of comparisons and contrasts between these two great Americans. So it may be concluded that all memorials of the shaft type should be excluded from consideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
