A Memoir of Abraham Lincoln Robert Black

'Recent events have drawn more closely the ties which naturally unite this side of the Atlantic to the other: Europeans are beginning to examine with more interest than heretofore the progress of American affairs; and it is considered, therefore, that no apology is needed for offering to the public, in it is believed a readable form, a short sketch of that man's career who takes command of the American State-ship upon the eve of what threatens to be the blackest weather she has yet encountered.' - Robert Black
