In his speeches—and we may add—his stories, thegreat Lincoln still lives, with an influence for goodamong men. Whatever may attach to his mere biography, thatreveals a life of struggle and disadvantage in earlyyears—unparalleled in fact in this respect—the truthis the MAN LINCOLN is not in the early cabin home,but in words that never die—in the compiled ut-terances of this volume, that reveal and perpetuatethe soul life of him who spoke so often, so fullyand truly, of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap-piness, and of a government that is of the peo-ple, by the people, and for the people.-^ In this form these stories and speeches, whose7 radiance lightens all pathways, are dedicated to then, world, in the firm faith that in the fulness of time, theknowledge of the truth shall make all people free. J. B. McCLURE.
