Side 190 - What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind.
Side 179 - DEAR MADAM : I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.
