    <![CDATA[He was the most eloquent of American presidents, with the possible exception of FDR, and the moral vision that sustained the nation during the Civil War illuminates nearly every page in this hefty collection of Abraham Lincoln's speeches, writings, and correspondence. It's not just the famous phrases--&quot;mystic chords of memory&quot; (first inaugural address), &quot;government of the people, by the people, for the people&quot; (Gettysburg Address), &quot;with malice toward none&quot; (second inaugural address)--that resonate. It's an artistic and political genius that could express complex ethical questions in simple, compelling language, as when Lincoln defined slavery's defenders as holding the &quot;same tyrannical principle&quot; as Europe's kings: &quot;the same spirit that says, 'You toil and work and earn bread, and I'll eat it.'&quot; Editor Philip Van Doren Stern's annotations provide helpful background, and his 200-page biographical essay ably encapsulates the principal developments in Lincoln's life and thought as they were known in 1940, when this volume was first published. The extreme privation of his youth, the terrible melancholy that often afflicted him, and the sorrows of his personal life make Lincoln's public achievements all the more staggering. Stern wisely respects the mysterious alchemy by which a plain man became a statesman; this respectful anthology seeks only to present Lincoln, not to explain him. <em>--Wendy Smith</em> ]]>

    <![CDATA[Lincoln's words ring with great rigor, clarity, and simplicity when compared to most of today's political utterances. Here we read his witty testimonial for a brand of soap, his sharp commentaries in the &quot;rat hole&quot; letter to a New York firm, his family correspondence to a spendthrift brother, and letters to a bereaved daughter, an angry general, and many humorous and satirical responses to political challenges--as well as those great moments of wisdom in his speeches and letters during the critical times in his career and in America's history.]]>

    <![CDATA[According to Wikipedia: &quot;Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 ? April 15, 1865) was the sixteenth President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1861 until his assassination. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States,[1][2] Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. During his term, he helped preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865.&quot;]]>

Also included in this treasury are his famous addresses, a Lincoln time-line, and sections on Lincoln Lore, Gettysburg Gems and Assassination Secrets.]]>

    <![CDATA[Even though Abraham Lincoln has been the subject of numerous biographies, his  personality remains an enigma. For the 1860 presidential race he prepared two sketches of his life. These brief campaign portraits provide the core around which Paul Zall weaves extracts from correspondence, speeches, and interviews to produce an in-depth biography.  <p>These descriptions from Lincoln's speeches and correspondence offer a window into his soul and mind. Lincoln's own words reveal an emotional evolution typically submerged in political biographies. They explain, to a degree not previously understood, the great mystery of his life: the process through which he matured from laborer to store clerk to country lawyer to our greatest president. Of the various internal struggles that plagued him throughout this evolution, perhaps the most compelling is his attempt to reconcile his conscience with the rule of the Constitution.   Zall frames Lincoln's words with his own illuminating commentary, providing a continuous, compelling narrative. Beginning with Lincoln's thoughts on his parents, the story moves though his youth and early successes and failures in law and politics, and culminates in his clashes and conflicts&#151;internal as well as external&#151;as president of a divided country.  <p>Abraham Lincoln was not the kind of person to bare his soul in public or in private. &#147;Even between ourselves,&#148; lamented Mary Todd Lincoln, &#147;his expressions were few.&#148; Paul Zall has created the autobiography Lincoln never had the chance to write.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Comprising an impressive array of more than 200 of Abraham Lincoln's writings and speeches, this volume offers a fascinating window onto one of history's most remarkable figures. Letting Lincoln's own eloquent voice tell the story, the author has organized the documentary material topically in ten chapters that follow Lincoln from his youth, to his entry into Republican politics, and through the main events of his presidency. Great public speeches like the Lincoln-Douglas Debates and the Gettysburg Address are here, together with many less familiar writing poignantly personal letters to voters and colleagues, notes on military strategy-to show the character and evolution of Lincoln's thought on the crucial issues of free labor, slavery, secession, Civil War, and emancipation. Johnson provides ample historical context through the skillful weaving of narrative and documents and the judicious use of footnotes, making this volume more accessible to undergraduates than any comparable collection. Also included are 14 illustrations, relevant Civil War maps, chronology, questions to consider, bibliography, and an index.]]>

Yet, Professor Fehrenbacher has chosen those which are really monumental. . . . Professor Fehrenbacher's introduction and head notes for each selection are alone worth the price of the book.&quot;--Hobbies]]>

    <![CDATA[Back in print after ten years, this unique book brings together 141 speeches, speech excerpts, letters, fragments, and other writings by Lincoln on the theme of democracy. Selected by leading historians, the writings include such standards as the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address, but also such little-seen writings as a letter assuring a general that the President felt safe—drafted just three days before Lincoln’s assassination. In this richly annotated anthology, the writings are grouped thematically into seven sections that cover politics, slavery, the union, democracy, liberty, the nation divided, and the American Dream. The introductions are by well-known historians: Gabor Borritt, William E. Gienapp, Charles B. Strozier, Richard Nelson Current, James M. McPherson, Mark E. Neely, Jr., and Hans L. Trefousse. In addition, each section’s title page displays a photograph of Lincoln from the time period covered in that section, with a paragraph describing the source and the occasion for which the photograph was made.]]>

    <![CDATA[Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth President of the United States, serving from 1861 until his assassination. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. During his term, he helped preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. He closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln successfully defused a war scare with the United Kingdom in 1861.]]>

    <![CDATA[In 1989, The Library of America published <em>Abraham Lincoln: Speeches and Writings</em>, a definitive two-volume edition edited by Lincoln scholar Don E. Fehrenbacher.  In the <em>New York Times Book Review</em>,  Alfred Kazin called it a “momentous and thrilling addition to any private library.” Now, twenty years later, to mark the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth, The Library of America re-releases these volumes—with newly designed bicentennial jackets—together with the brand new <em>The Lincoln Anthology: Great Writers on His Life and Legacy</em>, in an authoritative three-volume boxed set. Here is the man in full, the best that has been written by and about our greatest president.]]>

    <![CDATA[In the hope of shedding light on questions that continue to spark debate among historians and students of Lincoln, Brooks Simpson presents Think Anew, Act Anew, a concise and inventively annotated collection of documents written by Abraham Lincoln that focus on the interrelated themes of slavery, union, emancipation, and reconstruction. How did Lincoln define equality? How did he harmonize his rejection of slavery as immoral with his toleration of it where it existed? What were his views on race, and did they change over time? What did freedom mean to him?  <p>This unique selection of Lincoln's own words offers readers a chance to explore for themselves how Lincoln understood the prevailing concerns of his America. Professor Simpson provides contextual information in introductions to each of the book's eight chapters and all sixty-four documents are preceded by a brief note.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In 1858, two of American history?s most powerful politicians vied for the same seat in the United States Senate.  Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas both wanted to represent the state of Illinois, but only one could.  To help the voters of Illinois decide who would represent them, Lincoln and Douglas agreed to a series of debates to be held around the state.  It proved to be a campaign of issues with no personal attacks or animosity, and, to this day, the debates hold up as some of the best debates ever held anywhere.  This single volume contains all the debates between Lincoln and Douglas as well as related stump speeches and correspondence.  ]]>

    <![CDATA[Immediately after Lincoln's re-election to the Presidency, in an off-hand<br/>speech, delivered in response to a serenade by some of his admirers on<br/>the evening of November 10, 1864, he spoke as follows:<br/><br/>&quot;It has long been a grave question whether any government not too strong<br/>for the liberties of its people can be strong enough to maintain its<br/>existence in great emergencies. On this point, the present rebellion<br/>brought our republic to a severe test, and the Presidential election,<br/>occurring in regular course during the rebellion, added not a little to<br/>the strain.... The strife of the election is but human nature<br/>practically applied to the facts in the case. What has occurred in this<br/>case must ever occur in similar cases. Human nature will not change. In<br/>any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall<br/>have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good.<br/>Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn<br/>wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged.... Now that the<br/>election is over, may not all having a common interest reunite in a<br/>common fort to save our common country? For my own part, I have striven<br/>and shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle in the way. So long as I<br/>have been here, I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom.<br/>While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re-election and<br/>duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my<br/>countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think for their own good, it adds<br/>nothing to my satisfaction that any other man may be disappointed or<br/>pained by the result.&quot;<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[He was the most eloquent of American presidents, with the possible exception of FDR, and the moral vision that sustained the nation during the Civil War illuminates nearly every page in this hefty collection of Abraham Lincoln's speeches, writings, and correspondence. It's not just the famous phrases--&quot;mystic chords of memory&quot; (first inaugural address), &quot;government of the people, by the people, for the people&quot; (Gettysburg Address), &quot;with malice toward none&quot; (second inaugural address)--that resonate. It's an artistic and political genius that could express complex ethical questions in simple, compelling language, as when Lincoln defined slavery's defenders as holding the &quot;same tyrannical principle&quot; as Europe's kings: &quot;the same spirit that says, 'You toil and work and earn bread, and I'll eat it.'&quot; Editor Philip Van Doren Stern's annotations provide helpful background, and his 200-page biographical essay ably encapsulates the principal developments in Lincoln's life and thought as they were known in 1940, when this volume was first published. The extreme privation of his youth, the terrible melancholy that often afflicted him, and the sorrows of his personal life make Lincoln's public achievements all the more staggering. Stern wisely respects the mysterious alchemy by which a plain man became a statesman; this respectful anthology seeks only to present Lincoln, not to explain him. --Wendy Smith --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth President of the United States, serving from 1861 until his assassination. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. During his term, he helped preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. He closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln successfully defused a war scare with the United Kingdom in 1861.]]>
