"I make no apology for adding another 'Life of Abraham Lincoln' to the many already written, as I believe it impossible to make such an example of successful perseverance allied to honesty, as the great president gave, too well known to the world. And as I know of no other man whose life shows so perfectly what may be effected by resolute self-culture, and adherence to god principles in spite of obstacles, I infer that such an example cannot be too extensively set before all young men who are ambitious to do well in the truest sense......" ---- from the Preface..
