Lincoln knew in 1838 what 2021 would bring By Bret Stephens, The New York Times © Kent Nishimura National Guard troops stand behind security fencing with the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building behind them on Saturday in Washington, D.C.

It’s a speech whose time has arrived again in 2021. The Lyceum Address is named for the Springfield, Illinois, association that, according to Lincoln’s law partner William Herndon, “contained and commanded all the culture and talent of the place.” It concerns “the perpetuation of our political institutions.” Why would that matter in the still-young, ever-expanding American republic?
