This edition includes an extensive and hard to find Lincoln biography by Professor John Frost, L.L.D. It contains the seven original volume with Lincoln's works from 1832 through 1865. "I have endured," wrote Lincoln not long before his death, "a great deal of ridicule without much malice, and have received a great deal of kindness not quite free from ridicule." On Easter Day, 1865, the world knew how little this ridicule, how much this kindness, had really signified. Thereafter, Lincoln the man became Lincoln the hero, year by year more heroic, until to-day, with the swift passing of those who knew him, his figure grows ever dimmer, less real. This should not be. For Lincoln the man, patient, wise, set in a high resolve, is worth far more than Lincoln the hero, vaguely glorious. Invaluable is the example of the man, intangible that of the hero. And, though it is not for us, as for those who in awed stillness listened at Gettysburg with inspired perception, to know Abraham Lincoln, yet there is for us another way whereby we may attain such knowledge-through his words-uttered in all sincerity to those who loved or hated him. Cold, unsatisfying they may seem, these printed words, while we can yet speak with those who knew him, and look into eyes that once looked into his. But in truth it is here that we find his simple greatness, his great simplicity, and though no man tried less so to show his power, no man has so shown it more clearly.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN – A CONCISE BIOGRAPHY
THE life of Abraham Lincoln is a most potent illustration of the fact that good parts make great actors. A typical American from boyhood to death, he started with nothing, utilizing every opportunity for advancement, and honestly earning a right to live forever enshrined in the heart of his country.
The Republican party was born of public necessity during the administration of Washington and the elder Adams, and kept its organization and faith till 1833, when it was temporarily dissolved. Twenty-three years later it was re-formed for the defence of freedom of the person, of speech, and of the press, and for resistance to the usurpations resulting from the substitution of the Calhoun policy for that of the Declaration of Independence. The choice of Abraham Lincoln for President marked the victory of the reformed party, and the immortal standard-bearer led them on to greater triumphs.
The Lincolns originally came from England, settling in Hingham, Mass., about 1638; thence they moved to Pennsylvania; and, in 1782, again westward; till Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of the President, entered four hundred acres of land on the south side of Licking Creek, under a government warrant, and built a log cabin near Fort Beargrass, the site of the present city of Louisville, Ky. In the second year of their Kentucky settlement, Abraham and one of his sons were at work in the field when waylaid by an Indian, who fired from ambush, and killed the father. Two elder sons were chopping wood in the forest near at hand. One of them ran for help; the other turned to the cabin, seized the ever-ready rifle, and, looking through one of the port-holes, he saw the Indian grasp his youngest brother, Tom, then only six years old, and start with him for the woods. Levelling the rifle, he shot the Indian , and the boy, liberated by the death of his captor, sprang to his feet, and fled to the cabin; thus, almost miraculously, the father of President Lincoln was saved from the Indians.
In the wilderness of Kentucky there were few gleams of light; no schools, and scanty means for acquiring even the art of reading and writing; and here, in the rude life of the frontier, in ignorance and poverty, the father of President Lincoln grew to be a man. He was unable to read until after his marriage; but to his credit it should be said that he resolved that no child of his should ever be crippled as he had been. He married Nancy Hanks, and took the young bride to a rude log cabin which he had built for himself near Nolin Creek, in what is now Larue County, Ky. In this cabin, on the 12th of February, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born. While he was yet an infant, the family removed to another log cabin not far distant, and in these two Lincoln spent the first seven years of his life.
His mother was a woman of great force of character, and passionately fond of reading. President Lincoln often said of her, that his earliest recollections of his mother were of sitting at her feet, and listening to the tales and legends that she read. She was also a skilful hunter, and with her rifle more than once brought down the bear and deer, while with her hands she dressed the flesh and prepared it for the family table, and wrought garments for the family from the skins.
When Abraham Lincoln was in his seventh year, Zachariah Riney moved into the neighborhood, and the lad was sent to school to him. Riney was a Catholic, however, and the Protestant children attending his humble school were withdrawn whenever any religious exercises were held. A little later he had the opportunity of being taught by Caleb Hazel for three months. Lincoln was a full-grown lad when he first saw a church; and his first notion of public speaking was taken from the itinerant preacher, Parson Elkin, who now and then passed their way.
Thomas Lincoln being of a somewhat unsettled nature, like many another pioneer, thought that he saw better advantages farther west; and listening to the wonderful tales of rich soil, abundant game, fine timber, and good pasturage in Indiana, he resolved to go West. He found a newcomer who was willing to take his partly improved farm and log cabin for ten barrels of whiskey and twenty dollars in cash. Aided by his boys he built a flat-boat, and launched it upon Rolling Fork, which empties into the Ohio, loaded his ten barrels of whiskey and heavier articles of furniture upon it, and floated off down the Ohio; but the frail craft upset, and with what little could be saved from the wreck, Thomas Lincoln landed at Thompson's Ferry, and there found an ox-cart to transport him with his slender stock of valuables to Spencer County, Ind., about eighteen miles from the river. The children, left at home with their mother, attended school, and snared game for the family table. One bed-ticking filled with dried forest leaves sufficed for their rest at night, and early in the morning the future President was out chopping wood for the day's fire.
At last the father returned, and the long journey to Indiana was undertaken. At night they slept on the fragrant pine-twigs, and by day they plodded on their way toward the Ohio River. By all sorts of expedients the little family contrived to get from one home to the other, where, on a grassy knoll in the heart of the untrodden forest, they fixed upon the site of their future dwelling. A hunter's camp was all that could be built to shelter them during their first winter. One side was entirely open, except as it was screened with the half-dressed skins of wild animals. Here the future President spent his first winter in the State of Indiana.
Thorns were used for pins in his home; bits of bone covered with cloth did duty for buttons; crusts of rye bread, well burned, were substituted for coffee; the dried leaves of sundry native herbs took the place of tea. Corn-whiskey tempered with water was a common drink of the country, and one of the readiest forms of business currency. There were no neighbors to drop in with friendly gossip, no boats to vex the waters of the western rivers. Even when one of the settlers of that region knew how to write, it would require months sometimes for his letter to reach the eastern world; and only as a faint echo now and then came a whisper of politics and national affairs.
James Madison was the President of the United States, and the country was greatly disturbed over the admission of Missouri, the extension of slavery, and other matters of great moment , but little or none of the excitement ever reached the log cabin. Through the winter Abraham Lincoln aided his father in felling logs for a more substantial cabin; and in the spring all the available neighbors were convened, the logs were rolled out of the woods, and one by one fitted into their places in the shape of four walls. Gables were fixed in position with wooden pins, and the log cabin was complete. The floor was the solid ground, and the cracks between the logs were " chinked " with thin strips of wood. No wonder that little " Abe " mastered the art of splitting rails, and imbibed a knowledge of woodcraft which clung to him forever.
During their first year in Indiana the mother was stricken down by hard work, exposure, and continual anxiety, and died on the 5th of October. There were no funeral ceremonies, for there was no one to conduct them; but long after, when the spot where she lay was covered with the wreck of the forest and almost hidden, her son was wont to say, " All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my mother."
Boys of the present age, turning languidly over the piles of books at their command, would wonder at the little stock that made Abraham Lincoln's heart glad in those sad times. His library consisted of the Bible, " Aesop's Fables," and "Pilgrim's Progress." On these three his literary tastes were formed. He read the books till he could repeat from memory many chapters of the Bible, the most striking passages of Bunyan's story, and every one of Aesop's fables. Then he secured a copy of the lives and characters of eminent men, and from the day when he first read the biography of the great Kentuckian, Lincoln dated his undying admiration for Henry Clay. Then he obtained Ramsay's "Life of Washington , " and hearing of another "Life of Washington,"" written by Weems, he made a long journey to borrow it, and joyfully carried it home in the bosom of his hunting-shirt. A storm at night washed through the chinks of the logs in the cabin, and damaged the book, and with a heavy heart he carried it back to Mr. Crawford, who had loaned it to him. He offered to do any thing in settlement which Mr. Crawford thought fair and just, and it was finally agreed that Abe should "pull fodder" for three days for Mr. Crawford.
" Does that pay for the book, or for the damage done to it? " asked the boy, taking his first lesson in worldly wisdom. Mr. Crawford "allowed" that he had considered the book practically worthless, and that the work paid for it, so that it became the first book that Abraham Lincoln purchased , and discolored and blistered though it was, it was to him of incalculable value.
In the autumn of 1819 Thomas Lincoln went off into Kentucky, leaving the children to take care of themselves; but in December he returned, bringing a new mother for them, and a store of what to the children of the wilderness seemed a gorgeous array of housekeeping utensils; a table, chairs, a bureau, crockery, knives, forks, and other incidentals, which to-day are considered the necessaries of life; but which, until then, the Lincoln family had lived without. The new mother and her stepson became fast friends from the start, and she said of him afterward, " He never gave me a cross word or look, and never refused in fact or appearance to do any thing that I requested of him." From this time, matters began to look brighter in the Lincoln family. Neighbors became more abundant, and the school, with its coveted facilities for obtaining knowledge, was within reach.
At the age of seventeen, an accident led Lincoln into the vicinity of Booneville. There hearing that one of the famous Breckinridges of Kentucky was to speak for the defence in a murder trial, he went on to Booneville, and in dumb wonder listened to the first important speech which he had ever heard. Lincoln could not restrain himself; and as the eminent lawyer passed out of the court-house, he found himself intercepted by a tall, over-grown youth, awkward, horny-handed, and evidently of the poorer class, who timidly held out his hand to him. But the aristocratic Breckinridge stared in surprise at the intrusive stranger, and hastily passed without further notice the future President of the United States. The boy had learned a grand lesson in oratory, however, and he was as grateful to Breckinridge for it as he would have been had the great man been as gracious to him then as he was years afterward, when he was reminded by the President in Washington of the little incident in Boonville. From that moment his enthusiasm for speech-making knew no bounds. His father was at last obliged to interfere, and forbid his making speeches during work hours. The old man grumbled, " When Abe begins to speak, all hands stop work to hear him."
In every possible sense of the word, at twenty years of age, Abraham Lincoln was a self-made man. What he had learned, he had learned by himself; what he knew, he knew with absolute accuracy. Self-taught, self-dependent, self-reliant.
In the spring of 1830 the entire family made another move to the West, across the prairies to Illinois, near to the village of Decatur. The entire outfit consisted of one wagon, drawn by four oxen, and driven by Abraham Lincoln. When at last the family were well settled upon the new ground, young Lincoln determined that it was time for him to strike out for himself. He was twenty-one years old, and able and anxious to earn his own living. He engaged himself with a party that was taking a flat-boat loaded with produce down the river to New Orleans. Thus he visited the land of slavery, and saw its peculiar institutions, and thus he formed his first opinions of slavery. He succeeded so well with the cargo that the owner employed him to take charge of a country store at New Salem, Ill., where he at once established himself as a great favorite.
