- Lot Description
Book, titled “An address on the life, character and services of William Henry Seward : delivered at the request of both houses of the Legislature of New York, at Albany, April 18, 1873”, by Charles Frances Adams, Weed, Parsons, and Company, gold front cover title, 78 pp., each mourning ruled. Fine. Adams's address provides a detailed account of Seward's career, highlighting his significant role in the abolitionist movement and his efforts to preserve the Union during the Civil War. Seward is credited with skillfully navigating diplomatic relations with foreign powers, particularly Great Britain and France, to prevent their recognition of the Confederacy. The speech also delves into Seward's vision for American expansion and his involvement in the acquisition of Alaska, often referred to as "Seward's Folly" at the time but later recognized as a strategic move. Adams emphasizes Seward's unwavering commitment to principles of freedom and justice, as well as his remarkable intellect and eloquence. Overall, "An Address on the Life, Character and Services of William Henry Seward" offers a comprehensive and insightful look at the life and legacy of a pivotal figure in American history.
