Excerpt from The Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: An Address Delivered at the Hall of the Normal University, Normal, Ill., April 19, 1865 F our four items, the Edwards sermon is one of the scarcest. We can find no record of any copy sold, before the Burton sale of 1915 (where it brought and it is on the want list of leading collectors. The poem by Hon. B. B. French is also scarce, only seventy five copies having been printed. We have added Punch's tribute to Mr. Lincoln, as particularly appropriate. The Prayer of the Presidents is a scarce and also a peculiar item. Its author is given as F. S. Abiff, but the real name, as a Boston correspondent informs us, is unknown. The Holt address, to our mind, is one of the most interesting Lincoln items to be found. It is the only solution ever given to the mystery heretofore attaching to Lincoln's famous optical illusion of 1860.

Excerpt from Memorial Address on the Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: Delivered at Concord, New Hampshire, June 1, 1865, at the Request of the State Authorities How painful and yet how beautiful are those simple words of leave-taking. His coming martyrdom seems to have cast its shadow upon his spirit; but his appointed work was more than life, and he gave himself to it without reservation. Time, thought, labor, and life itself, all were consecrated to the salvation of his country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: An Address, Delivered at the Hall of the Normal University, April 19th, 1865 For the few moments, then, during which we Shall remain together, let us endeavor to study somewhat the significance of these terrible events, and some of the lessons taught us, as individuals and as a na tion, by the life and death of abraham lincoln. For greatmen are given to the race for high and noble purposes. Every mighty intel lect, every mind that can soar to the contemplation of the glorious works Of God, or penetrate to the profound mysteries of his eternal plans, that can translate into ordinary speech the laws of the material universe and of mind, that can discern and interpret God's truth in nature, in history, or in revelation; or every great soul, cherishing high moral purposes, smitten with the love of virtue, scorning all meanness and defying all per-i], hearing in its own conscience a voice louder than threatenings and thunders, reposing an unfaltering trust in God in the darkest hour, ever ready to be Offered up on the altar of its country or of mankind, every such mind and soul is a gift of God to man. When men have gone on for ages, and lost the vitality of some truth, mistaking for its essence some old form in which it had been clothed to meet the appreciation of a rude age, a new mes senger is sent, - a seer, - one whose intellectual vision or moral insight is clearer than that of his fellows, who, seeing what others fail to see, is prepared to restate or reenact the great principle, in a form befitting the needs of his own and Of future generations and men once more emerge from the darkness, and another morning dawns upon their eyes. Ever and anon, along the pathway of the centuries, we find a bright beacon of this kind, set up for the illumination of succeeding times, - a Socrates or a Luther, a Tell or a Washington, a H ampden or a Lincoln. These are the gifts of a loving Father to his benighted 'and fallen children. They are sent as powers to lift the race into higher and higher planes of being. By successive and cumulative labors the progress of man is secured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln Lincoln lore has become so rich in recent years, and so voluminous withal, that he who would add to it must needs show cause why his book should be read. And yet, in spite of all that has been written, it cannot be said that we yet have a thoroughly satisfactory interpretation of the life and work and character of our First American. A few have had the necessary knowledge and sympathy, but their literary power has not always been adequate. Others have written well, but they have failed of insight and understanding. In the meantime the volume of facts, impressions, and reminiscences increases, and by assembling items from a variety of sources we are coming to a composite conception of our prophet-president that is at once vivid and satisfying.

Excerpt from Eulogy on the Life and Character of Abraham Lincoln: Before the City Government of Manchester, N. H. June 1st, 1865 Sir: I have the honor to be charged with communicating to you a copy of a Resolution passed by the City Council last evening: Resolved, by the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of Manchester, in City Council assembled, as follows: That the thanks of the City be tendered to the Hon. Daniel Clark, Senator in Congress from this State, for the very able and eloquent Eulogy pronounced by him before the City Council and citizens of Manchester, upon the life and character of our late illustrious President, Abraham Lincoln, upon the occasion of the late National Fast, and that he be requested to furnish a copy for publication.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Historical Address Then so much depends upon the point of view. In this regard, men are like mountains. A height of land towers over our heads: is it a mountain, splitting the clouds, and joining the earth and the sky; or is it a mere knoll, shutting from our view the real peaks which are just beyond it? In a deep and narrow valley, one has no idea how some mighty peak dominates the whole landscape for miles and miles. But when he gets away upon the other summits, he sees at once how easily it is the master and king of the en tire region. I repeat - so with men. We do not judge the public men of our own time with intelligence even, - let alone fairness and candor. No man, it is said, is a hero to his own valet. The genuine greatness or the essential littleness of those who figure largely in the world's affairs is not clearly perceived in their own times. To illustrate by familiar examples how have the contemporary estimates of Daniel Webster and of Charles Sumner changed since their deaths. You all know how John A. Andrew is reckoned to-day; but in 1862, there was a strong opposition to his re-election, even within his own party, and no less a man than Charles Dev ens was made the candidate of dissatisfied republicans, and of democrats eager to profit by the dissensions of their oppo neuts. At rare intervals, there appears upon the stage of human affairs, a man, whose life and deeds and character compel the attention, the admiration, and the lasting affection of the world. His is one of the few, the immortal names, that were not born to die. Generations come and generations go; but his memory, living and green, does not fade. Parties rise and fall; but his name becomes a household word, dear to the hearts and the lips of his countrymen. Great issues are settled so that the settlements mark clear gains for human progress his fortunes had been married to those great principles and his fame is forever linked with their triumph. His services, too carelessly estimated during his life-time, - his motives, often lightly aspersed by the thoughtless and the ignorant; his relations to progress and truth, so rarely understood by his fellow - citizens, particular ly when they seemed to threaten the triumph of some party or sect, these at last become evident. Then he receives the place in history to which he is entitled; his services, his motives and his various merits bring him again the happy experience of the modest guest, and the muse of history is constantly inviting him to come up higher.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Mr. President and Gentlemen - As I am informed, the Cherry Tree Club meets once each year to commemorate the birthday of the Father of his Country. Your club is composed almost entirely of'young men, most of whom were born since the close of the Civil War, and few, if any, of you were old enough at that time to have any personal recollection of the events that marked the most tragic period in the history of the Republic. I am asked to portray the character of the man who was not only the central figure in that Titanic struggle, but whose memory is, and will ever be, enshrined in the hearts of all' liberty-loving people throughout the habitable globe. May I not hope that you will bear with me if I shall attempt more than a brief pass ing tribute to the character of this remarkable man. May I not be indulged in an endeavor to quicken in your minds the meaning of that great epoch in our history, while bring ing to your attention some of the conspicuous characteristics of the man about whom I am to speak, and some of the events connected with which he will always be the one prominent personality. In devotion to his country; in breadth of statesman ship; in exalted character; in blameless private life, the name of Abraham Lincoln will grow brighter with the ages - the synonym of true greatness - the harbinger of that period to which we all look, of peace on earth, good will to man. In his early days he struck his roots deep down into the common soil of the earth, and in his latest years his head towered and shone among the stars!

Excerpt from The Life of Abraham Lincoln: From His Birth to His Inauguration as President In the following pages I have endeavored to give the life of Abraham Lincoln, from his birth to his inauguration as President of the United States. The reader will judge the character of the performance by the work itself: for that reason I shall spare him the perusal of much prefatory explanation. At the time of Mr. Lincoln's death, I determined to write his history, as I had in my possession much valuable material for such a purpose. I did not then imagine that any person could have better or more extensive materials than I possessed. I soon learned, however, that Mr. William H. Herndon of Springfield, III., was similarly engaged. There could be no rivalry between us; for the supreme object of both was to make the real history and character of Mr. Lincoln as well known to the public as they were to us. He deplored, as I did, the many publications pretending to be biographies which came teeming from the preson long as the public interest about Mr. Lincoln excited the hope of gain. Out of the mass of works which appeared, of one only - Dr. Holland's - is it possible to speak with any degree of respect. Early in 1869, Mr. Herndon placed at my disposal his remarkable lection of materials, - the richest, rarest, and fullest collection it was possible to conceive. Along with them came an offer of hearty co-operation, of which I have availed myself so extensively, that no art of mine would serve to conceal it. Added to my own collections, these acquisitions have enabled me to do what could not have been done before, - prepare an authentic biography of Mr. Lincoln.
