Abraham Lincoln PDF
by Lord Charnwood
Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
Lincoln, one of the few supreme statesmen of the last three centuries, was no exception to this rule.
He was misunderstood and underrated in his lifetime, and even yet has hardly come to his own.
For his place is among the great men of the earth. To them he belongs by right of his immense power of hard work, his un faltering pursuit of what seemed to him right, and above all by that childlike directness and simplicity of vision which none but the greatest carry beyond their earliest years.
It is fit that the first considered attempt by an Englishman to give a picture of Lincoln, the great hero of America's struggle for the noblest cause, should come at a time when we in England are passing through as fiery a trial for a cause we feel to be as noble.
It is a time when we may learn much from Lincoln's failures and success, from his patience, his modesty, his serene optimism and his eloquence, so simple and so magnificent.
