Sinopsis

This edition contains all 3 Volumes in one binding. The type was reset for a clean look and appearance.The object of this work is to deal with Mr. Lincoln individually and domestically: as lawyer, as citizen, as statesman. Special attention is given to the history of his youth and early manhood, and while dwelling on this portion of his life the liberty is taken to insert many things that would be omitted or suppressed in other places. The endeavor is to keep Lincoln in sight all the time, to cling close to his side all the way through - leaving to others the more comprehensive task of writing a history of his times. I have no theory of his life to establish or destroy. Mr. Lincoln was my warm devoted friend. - William H.
