Very Good Condition. decorated end-papers; titles, introduction, select bibliography, contents & prefatory notes to front. Among American heroes, Lincoln continues to have a unique appeal for his fellow countrymen and also for people of other lands. This charm derives from his remarkable life story—the rise from humble origins, the dramatic death—and from his distinctively human and humane personality as well as from his historical role as saviour of the Union and emancipator of enslaved people.

In his view, the Union was worth saving not only for its own sake but because it embodied an ideal, the ideal of self-government. 4-page essay on the Everyman's Library to rear. First Thus.
