Om The Writings of Abraham Lincoln
"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."
-Abraham Lincoln, The Writings of Abraham Lincoln, Volume V (1858-1862)
The Writings of Abraham Lincoln, Volume V (1858-1862) (1905) by Abraham Lincoln was edited by Arthur Brooks Lapsley and includes a wide variety of personal and political letters, speeches, and an autobiographical sketch replete with intriguing quips by the humble president-to-be at that time. Lincoln is a mastermind of political philosophy which rings true in this volume and the others in this eight-volume series (also available from Cosimo Classics). This in-depth glimpse into the mind of Abraham Lincoln is for fans of history at its best.
