Excerpt from In Memoriam: Memorial Services in Honor of James Abram Garfield
Of the first edition of the book, - giving an account of the "Memorial Services" held at sea on the twenty-sixth day of September, 1881, in honor of James Abram Garfield, the assassinated President, - there were twelve hundred copies printed. One thousand copies of that edition were forwarded to those persons who subscribed for the same while passengers on board the Cunard Steamship "Scythia," in the main saloon of which those impressive and interesting services were held.
I have thought it best to issue another edition in order to supply the demand. There have been a very few verbal changes made in some of the Addresses, especially so in that by the Chairman, which was written in a hurried manner, just before the assembling of the passengers in the Main Saloon at 2 o'clock afternoon of the same day.
