Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1 of 2 His ancestors, who were Quakers, went to Virginia from Berks County, Pennsylvania. An effort to identify them with the New England family of the same name ended in nothing more definite than a similarity of Christian names in both families, such as Enoch, Levi, Mordecai, Solomon, Abra ham, and the like. This effort to connect the president with the Lincolns of Massachusetts was afterward carried forward by others, who felt an interest greater than his own in establishing the fact. Yet if he had expected the quest to result satisfactorily, he would probably have been less indifferent about it; for it is obvious that, in common with all Ameri cans of the old native stock, he had a strenuous desire to come of respectable people; and his very reluctance to have his apparently low extrac tion investigated is evidence that he would have been glad to learn that he belonged to an ancient and historical family of the old Puritan Common wealth, Settlers not far from Plymouth Rock, and immigrants not long after the arrival of the May flower. This descent has at last been traced by the patient genealogist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1 of 2: A New Portrait While Lincoln lived, the United States of today was a nation very much in the making. It was in the making not only politically and economically but intellectually and morally as well. It was a people trying to find itself under conditions of greatest novelty and unexampled diversity. Political and social institutions, which had been fairly well tested for a reasonable length of time within closely defined and relatively homogeneous areas, were now to be set to work under conditions of greatest diversity both social and economic. A federal union was to be built and preserved under conditions which often seemed to make either the building or the preservation beyond the practical powers of man. Nevertheless, the Westward movement of the pioneer families and groups, the Ordinance of 1784 and that of 1787 for the government of the Northwest Territory, the Louisiana Purchase, the acquisition of Florida, the Ashburton Treaty, the Oregon treaty of 1846, and the results of the Mexican War all followed relentlessly one after the other, and moved steadily toward the accomplishment and perpetuity of one great aim.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1: A History It is not, therefore, with any thought of adding mate rially to his already accomplished renown that we have written the work which we now ofier to our fellow-citizens. But each age owes to its successors the truth in regard to its own annals. The young men who have been born since Sumter was fired on have a right to all their elders know of the important events they came too late to share in. The life and fame of Lincoln will not have their legitimate effect of instruction and example unless the circumstances among which he lived and found his opportunities are placed in their true light before the men who never saw him.

Excerpt from Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 1 Something more than a decade has elapsed since the preceding words were written, and dur ing that period the assiduity of a multitude of Lincoln collectors has brought to light a large amount of manuscript material which inevitably escaped even such conscientious workers as Nic olay and Hay. The collectors have been so dili gent during this period it is hardly probable that any of Lincoln's writings of importance can be any longer undiscovered. The aim has been to collect this material, add it to the work of the two great biographers, and so make a complete and definitive edition.

Excerpt from Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 2This is the Spirit in which mighty Lincoln sought to bind up the Nation's wounds when its soul was yet seething with fierce hatreds, with wrath, with rancor, with all the evil and dread ful passions provoked by civil war. Surely this is the Spirit which all Americans should show now, when there is so little excuse for malice or rancor or hatred, when there is so little of vital consequence to divide brother from brother.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and His Presidency, Vol. 1 of 2 Before the meeting of the Republican N ational Con vention of 1860 I had undertaken, not of my own motion or at first willingly, to write a campaign biography of its nominee for the Presidency. I was confident that my subject would not be Mr. Seward, but had no presenti ment that the choice of the convention would be Abra ham Lincoln, whom I had then never met. In my first interview with him, soon after the adjournment of the convention (oi which I was a member), he earnestly and even sadly insisted that there was no adequate material for such a work as was intended, yet he received me very kindly, and showed no unusual reserve in talking of either his earlier or maturer life. As to both periods, he readily gave such facts as my inquiries invited or suggested; introduced me to friends with whom he had been on intimate terms for more than twenty years; and put me in the way of exploring newspaper files and legislative journals in the Illinois State library for biographic material.
