Abraham Lincoln: And the Abolition of Slavery in the United StatesExcerpt from Abraham Lincoln: And the Abolition of Slavery in the United States 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 good 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. There are also other reasons why it should be studied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
