The late James A. Garfield, President of the United States, 1881. 'To the noble army of Martyrs - for it was his public virtue, and his firm resistance to political corruption, that expressly provoked the murderous act of July 2 - James Abram Garfield has now been joined; dying last Monday night, after eleven weeks of suffering borne with manly fortitude, amidst the sincere grief, the reverent compassion, the admiring love of many millions, both of his fellow-citizens in the great English Republic of America, and of our kindred English nation in the United Kingdom; indeed, of all civilised nations in Europe and throughout the world. He has left an example, a character, that will hereafter prove, we trust, the source even of higher benefits to that magnificent Commonwealth of fifty million freemen and to the cause of good government, than could have been produced by four years of tranquil and successful Administration'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
