Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: Address Delivered by W. Martin Jones at Phoenix, N. Y. On the Thirtieth Day of May, 1904 Yielding to repeated solicitations of friends I have had the following address on Abraham Lincoln put in print. As a mere brochure on the life of the most eminent American of his century, the address might well be materially altered, but I prefer to print it as I delivered it - without amendment or addition. I seek only to make the book suitable for presentation to friends, and, as a leaf from the history of a most interesting and eventful period, I take pleasure in placing it in their possession. The picture facing the title page is, in my opinion, the best likeness extant of Abraham Lincoln. It occurs to me that the book will hardly be complete without it. The autograph is a reproduction of Mr. Lincolns signature as it was affixed to a commission at the Department of State only a few days before that sad Good Friday in 1865, that witnessed the tragedy at Fords Theater. From personal knowledge I believe I am justified in saying that Mr. Lincoln signed all official documents with his full name.
