The Martyr to Liberty: Three Sermons Preached in the First Universalist Church, Philadelphia, Sunday, April 16th, Wednesday, April 19th, and Thursday, (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781176079670)

The Martyr to Liberty presents three sermons delivered by Reverend Richard Eddy in Philadelphia's First Universalist Church during the immediate aftermath of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Preached on April 16th, April 19th, and June 1st, 1865, these sermons reflect the profound grief and shock experienced by the nation while also attempting to find solace and meaning in the tragic event.

Eddy's eloquent words offer a window into the religious and emotional landscape of the Civil War era. He grapples with themes of loss, sacrifice, and the enduring principles of liberty that Lincoln championed. This volume provides valuable insight into the public response to Lincoln's death and the role of religious leaders in shaping national mourning and remembrance.
