Description
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of Abraham Lincoln: Compiled in Most Part From the History of Abraham Lincoln, and the Overthrow of Slavery
Time out of mind, words prefatory have been considered indispensable to the successful publication of a book. This sketch of the life and death of abraham lincoln is in tended as an accompaniment to the Historical Painting Which has rescued from oblivion, and, With almost perfect fidelity, transmitted to futurity, the last hours OF lincoln. In its preparation has been invoked the aid of one Who in life was near the heart of mr. Lincoln, and at death was a Witness to that last sad scene, so accurately delineated by the painter''s art - the Hon. Isaac N. Arnold. His intimate and social relations With mr. Lincoln, his unbounded admira tion of the goodness and sincerity of the Great Emancipator, renders this invocation eminently appropriate. This sketch contains subject-matter never before made public, presented in the full dress of the author''s happiest style.
