The Life by Henry J. Raymond, then the editor of the New York Times, published in New York in 1864, was in intention a campaign life, but it is especially valuable since it allows Lincoln to be his own biographer by means of speeches, letters, messages, and the like. The Life by Isaac N. Arnold (A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago) is chiefly devoted to the executive and legislative doings of Lincoln's administration. A campaign life was published by Thayer & Eldridge, Boston, 1860. Among later works, mention should be made of the lives by John T. Morse, Jr., in The American Statesmen series (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.), and Noah Brooks in Heroes of the Nations (G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York); Abraham Lincoln: an Essay, by Carl Schurz (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.) ; President Lincoln and his Administration, by L. E. Chittenden (Harper & Bros., New York); Abraham Lincoln and Men of War Times, by A. K. McClure; Life of Abraham Lincoln, by Norman Hapgood (Macmillan); Life of Abraham Lincoln, by Ida Tarbell (McClure); and Lincoln, Master of Men, by Alonzo Rothschild (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.). Other memoirs, mostly written for political purposes, are those by Joseph H. Barrett, A. A. Abbott, David N. Bartlett, Linus P. Brockett, Phoebe Ann Hanaford, John C. Power.

Several popular lives for young people have been written, among them Abraham Lincoln, the Pioneer Boy, by W. M. Thayer; The Forest Boy, by Z. A. Mudge; Abraham Lincoln, the Backwoods Boy, by Horatio Alger, Jr.; Abraham Lincoln, by Charles Carleton Coffin; The True Story of Abraham Lincoln, the American, by E. S. Brooks; and Abraham Lincoln, by W. O. Stoddard.

After Lincoln's death there appeared numberless eulogies, addresses, sermons, poems, and magazine ar ticles concerning his life, character, and public services. A zealous bibliographer and antiquarian, Mr. Charles Henry Hart, collected a list of these under the title Bibliographia Lincolniana; an Account of the Publications occasioned by the Death of Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States; with Notes and an Introduction. It was published by Joel Munsell, Albany, N. Y., in 1870, and contains a valuable biographical introduction. Among preachers and public men who delivered addresses afterward printed were Henry Ward Beecher, James Freeman Clarke, Richard Salter Storrs, Phillips Brooks, Octavius Brooks Frothingham, George Bancroft, James Abram Garfield, Alexander H. Bullock, Richard Stockton Field.

Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered a commemorative address at funeral services held in Concord, April 19, 1865, which is contained in the eleventh volume of his works, Riverside Edition. James Russell Lowell, besides the paper given in this book, introduced a striking portrait of Lincoln in the lines beginning, "Such was he our Martyr-Chief,"

in his Commemoration Ode. Hawthorne has an interesting paragraph in his article Chiefly about War Matters, contributed to the Atlantic Monthly, July, 1862, and reprinted in volume xii. of the Riverside Edition of his works. Bryant wrote a noble threnody, Dr. Holmes a memorial hymn, Stoddard a stately ode, Stedman a sonnet as also a poem on the cast of Lincoln's hand, and Whittier some strong verses on "The Emancipation Group " in Boston. Most of these will be found in Riverside Literature

Series, No. 133.

An investigation into the Lincoln genealogy was made by Samuel Shackford, and published in the New England Historic Genealogical Register, Boston, 1887. There are in the Boston Public Library more than two thousand copies of American and English newspapers containing accounts of the assassination with editorial comments. Full accounts of the trial of the conspirators were published by Peterson & Bros., Philadelphia, 1865, and by Barclay & Co., Philadelphia, 1865. Benjamin Pitman's account was published by Moore, Wilstach, Keys & Co., Cincinnati, 1865. The obsequies in New York were described by D. T. Valentine in a book of 254 pages, published by E. Jones & Co., New York, 1866. For lists of works concerning Lincoln, besides the bibliography by Hart, one may consult the Boston Public Library Catalogue, and Monthly Reference Lists of Providence Public Library, vol. i. p. 21 (1881).

Portraits of Lincoln serve as frontispieces to most of the volumes devoted to him, and there are several which can be had separately. The most considerable are the large steel engraving by Marshall, published by Bradley & Co., Philadelphia, and large photogravures published by A. W. Elson & Co. of Boston and W. H. Gilbo of New York. Gustav Kruell has made two striking engravings on wood. The most valuable photographs from life are those published by George B. Ayres of Philadelphia and M. P. Rice of Washington, which were taken in 1860 and 1864 respectively. There is a good plaster bust to be obtained of P. P. Caproni & Bro., Boston. Photographs of the Statue of Lincoln by St. Gaudens in Chicago can also be procured.
