The Life and Public Services of Hon. Abraham Lincoln (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Hon. Abraham Lincoln But a single word is necessary. Every reader will easily understand that a campaign life of any man, got up with despatch, is like neither Boswell's J ohn son nor Lockhart's Scott. They were the work of years - this of days. But it is believed that this is an accurate life of Mr. Lincoln in every respect, and as such, we send it forth to take its share in the great work of making Abraham Lincoln next President of these United States.
