Excerpt from Oration of James Speed: Upon the Inauguration of the Bust of Abraham Lincoln, at Louisville, Ky;, February 12, 1867

Mr. Chairman, and Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am embarrassed because I knew, admired, and loved Abraham Lincoln, His hold upon the deepest and truest feelings of my nature was and still remains so strong and firm that I cannot push him and his memory so far off as to catch and give a complete delineation of his character. His personal friendship was so true and warm, and his manifestations of it so unaffected, simple, and engaging, that his friends never could retire far enough from him to appreciate the colossal proportions of the man; they feel toward him and his memory as did David toward Jonathan; their love for him passes the love of women.

The beautiful bust which has been just unveiled gives the beholder a truthful idea of the outer man. The accomplished artist has done all that genius and skill, stimulated by love and admiration for his subject, could to perpetuate the impression of Mr. Lincoln's appearance. The biographer and historian must record his deeds, and the judgment of the world determine whether they were for the good or ill of mankind; I will assume the humble task of trying to make you acquainted with the inner man, as I saw and knew him.

In early life Mr. Lincoln had to bear and struggle with poverty and obscurity, a fortune not uncommon with distinguished men in America. Cheerfully and with persistent courage, he surmounted those difficulties. No vulgar ambition called him to the labor which resulted in success. A high sense of duty to himself, his family, his country, mankind, and to God, made him consecrate himself to pursuits which illustrated his powers, and attracted the attention, first of his neighbors, then of his State, then of the nation, and finally of the world.
