About this Item

Scarce commemorative address, in which the author recalls the assassination of the president by a disappointed office seeker: "Garfield was a martyr no less than Lincoln; the one to the vile and threatening heresy of the Spoils System, as the other to the expiring heresy of Secession". The Reverend Denis Wortman (1835 - 1922) minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, was born in East Fishkill, NY, and held pastorates at Brooklyn, N. Y. (1860-63), Philadelphia, Schenectady, N. Y.; Fort Plain, N. Y., and Saugerties (1883-1901). He was a respected writer of hymns, several of which are in current use. 8vo, 24pp. Original printed paper wrappers, staple bound. Neat contemporary inscription top of front wrapper, dated October 1881. OCLC: 21926987 (2 copies), New York Public Library and State Library of Ohio.
