Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... ABRAHAM LINCOLN. BY JAMES SPEED, * Late Attorney-General of the United States. Less than two years after the death of Mr. Lincoln, I gave a brief expression of my appreciation of his character. Then it was too soon for a general reception of his great and good qualities. I then said: "When passion shall have subsided, and calmness and quiet come--a period he was only permitted to see from Pisgah's height--the large measure of his wisdom will be acknowledged by all men." Since that time, twenty years have passed--passion has gone, quiet has come, and all men speak his praise. I believe that, in all the annals of our race, Abraham Lincoln is the finest example of an unknown man rising from obscurity and ascending to the loftiest heights of human grandeur. The conspicuous causes which produced this grand result were inborn strength, integrity of character, patriotic devotion, and the nurturing influences of a free country. At an early age, he began to show the superior endowments which made him a leader of men. In the rough scenes of backwoods life his companions made him umpire of their * Mr. Speed was a Third Class Member of the Ohio Comniandery. He read this sketch at the May meeting, a little less than two months before his death, which occurred June 25, 18S7. His intimate relations with Mr. Lincoln, as a member of his Cabinet, gives it peculiar interest.--R. H. sports, and called him " Honest Abe." At the age of twentythree, his comrades in the Black Hawk War made him captain. One of these comrades now lives in Louisville--the venerable lawyer, Isaac R. Greene. He loves to tell how Captain Lincoln was a leader among the soldiers in that campaign, and attracted all by his good sense, wit, and anecdote. I knew Mr. Lincoln when he visited...

Book Description
From the NOTE: This is a complete edition of "Sketches from the Civil War in North America: 1861, '62, '63." Many other edition contain unnecessary blank pages which have been removed, thus helping to keep cost down in the production of this book. * * * * * From the EDITOR'S PREFACE: IT was hoped that this scarce and very interesting collection of etchings would have been published nearly a year ago: but delays encountered in searching for (supposed) additional plates have delayed the matter until now. Mr. Sabin, in his "Dictionary of Books relating to America" (New York, 1869, Vol. 2, No. 5709) notes: "BLADA, V. (pseudonym for A. J. Volck) Sketches from the Civil War in North America, 1861-'62-'63. By V. Blada. London, 1863. Quarto. (A series of forty-five sketches, chiefly of scenes in the Confederate Army, really published in Baltimore. Only twelve copies were struck off for friends, when the plates were destroyed for fear of exposing the artist, who is a German dentist in Baltimore)." The catalogue of the Library of Congress says: "The original sketches, thirty in number were drawn, etched and printed in an edition of two hundred sets for subscribers by Dr. Adalbert Johan Volck of Baltimore. One plate, "Meeting of the Southern emissaries and Lincoln" (at Hampton Roads, February 3, 1865) was afterwards lost. An edition of forty-five plates, (the original thirty and fifteen additional, by the same artist, was also published (London 1863)." But my very long and careful search, here and abroad, has failed to find more than the thirty plates I here reproduce (I am told two others are in Richmond, but that the owner will not allow their reproduction-and most of the few sets which have been sold at auction had but twenty-nine).
