About this listen

 Abraham Lincoln, at the budding age of 28 and just beginning his law practice, delivered an impactful speech on January 27, 1838, highlighting the perils of mob rule. His words, eerily relevant today, cautioned against the potential destruction of the United States by those who disregard its laws. Lincolns belief in the Constitution and law as the nations political religion resonates throughout his speech, known as the Lyceum Address. Given before the Young Men’s Lyceum in Springfield, Illinois, Lincoln paid homage to the political system instituted by the Founding Fathers while warning against internal disruption. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt penned a thoughtful introduction to a compilation of Lincolns works, emphasizing Lincolns timeless message the crucial balance of wisdom, righteousness, and high-mindedness in preserving our nation. - Synopsis by John Greenman and Wikipedia
