Washington, D.C. Government Printing Office, 1861. Paperback. Small 4to. Original tan printed wrappers. 92pp. Good plus. Almost, but not quite, rates a "Very good" -- just a mild bit of edgewear and couple of tiny chips at extremities. Many of Douglas' Illinois colleagues -- Isaac Arnold and Orville H. Browning among them -- contribute to this collection of eulogies.

Doyle (1827-86) was long-time mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, from 1852 off and on through his death.
