Abraham Lincoln and Constitutional Government, Part I and II

This double volume was published in 1916.

Excerpt from the book's Preface:

There have been so many books, essays, and speeches
written about the immortal Abraham Lincoln, that one might
well ask why I should attempt at this late day the difficult
task of adding one more to the thousands already in exis-
tence. In answer I will say that whenever I return to the
sacred precincts and final resting place of one whom I knew
and admired in my early years, whose imperishable fame and
illustrious services never will be forgotten, nor whose memory
will ever perish from the history of the world, I feel impelled
to add one more laurel wreath to that victorious brow, and
to recount a few more cherished memories of that useful,
unselfish and patriotic life; and above all to show what he
accomplished to advance and perpetuate constitutional
government in the world.
