Description
A printed pamphlet titled 'The Case of the Lusitania' bearing the text of an address delivered by James M. Beck (1861-1936) U.S. Representative from Pennsylvania and Assistant Attorney General, in Boston on May 7, 1916, honoring the memory of the sinking of the Lusitania and rallying support for the war cause. Notable excerpts read in part: '...This is an hour of tragic sorrow. It is also one of deepest humiliation...The foul crime of the Lusitania has no yet been disavowed and it will never be fully redressed unless the watery grave of the Lusitania shall be the lasting grave of the Hohenzollern dynasty...'Remember the Lusitania!' Yes: it to, will be remembered by our people. Not with a proud consciousness of a work well done, but with the humiliating regret for a great work of humanity as yet left partly undone...' Moderately toned with scattered stains throughout, a few pages detached from the binding. Sold with another publication 'The Lusitania Case: Was Bryan's Resignation Justified?' exploring the events of the Lusitania as it related to Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan.
