Golden Book Of Springfield eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Ultra modern followers of Campbell hang in their libraries with unlimited pride a cer tain Rembrandtesque lithograph of the great man, an heirloom that is now quite rare, and to be classed in its southern way, as the spin ning wheels and old Bibles of the Mayower are classed in a northern way. This lithograph is the enlargement of the engraving in the front of the Richardson biography, but much color and magic have been added. Out of the darkness emerges a smooth-shaven, high bred, masterful physiognomy more like that of the statesmen who were the fathers of the repub lic, than of a member of any priesthood. Campbell''s cheeks and eyes are still fired with youth and authority militant. He has a head bowed with thought, crowned with grey hair, and beneath his chin is the, most states manlike of cravats, with a peculiarly old fashioned roll. Thus he must have looked.
