Excerpt from Abraham LincolnThe story of Lincoln's struggles, triumphs, and heroic death has become, a commonplace of history, and no series of biographies of the noble and good would be complete without a sketch of his life.While he owed his inspiration and training to the great Republic which he saved, and which has entered, as a direct fruit. Of his heroism, upon a new era of prosperity, all British people claim him as of their stock and kin.The anglo-saxon homely virtues of simplicity, tena city, and fidelity' were seen in him, Lincoln was a product of the principles which have given Milton, Cromwell, Livingstone, and other heroes to the world.All English-speaking people delight in his character and work, and it is not too much to say that all have been directly benefited by him and by his achievements.The world is brighter and purer because such a life once Shed its radiance in a dark place, nor will Lincoln ever be forgotten among the heroes who have made history.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
