Opis: Memorial Volume (Classic Reprint) - Levi Leo N.

Excerpt from Memorial Volume

The rendition of tribute to worth or greatness, is an attribute of advanced civilization, and in plastic marble, or responsive bronze, shaped by master hands, grateful Commonwealths often offer willing homage to their illustrious dead.

But the imposing statue also perpetuates the memory of the gifted artist, whose wondrous skill endows the lifeless material with majesty, dignity, and the expressive lineaments of the human form divine.

And thus the creator of the testimonial shares the fame of him, whose achievements are thereby commemorated.

But a loyal Brotherhood offers a more unique memorial of its affection and regard for its inspired chieftain.

It has sought no aid from the cultured imagination of mechanical proficiency of stranger or friend, but has designed a monument, every part of which, from base to summit, is fashioned from material supplied by the intellect and industry of him it attempts to honor.

Upon these pages, the sayings of a man born to lead, and fruitful in accomplishment, are faithfully transcribed. They bear incontrovertible testimony to the thoroughness and profundity of his knowledge; the wide range of his culture; his invincible logic; his faultless diction; his mastery of every subject he studied.

They reveal his breadth of mind; his freedom from prejudice; his buoyant optimism; his broad cosmopolitanism, as well as his unfaltering patriotism and devotion to his country.
