American system of self protection and suffrage
A Lincoln era oration argues that Freedmen's Bureau and Civil Rights laws fell short, urging a shift to the American system of self protection via universal suffrage. It extols ballots as a stronger safeguard than force, contrasts European paternalism, and defends negro suffrage against Democratic prejudice while warning of Republican power’s preservation to secure peace and prosperity.

A compendium of musings on life span from Prof Faradar who argues the natural life of man is one hundred years based on growth completion at twenty. He compares animals, divides life into growth and decline, and notes sickness, diet, and passions shorten life.
