Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotal Lincoln: Speeches, Stories and Yarns of the Immortal Abe In his speeches - and we may add - his stories, the great Lincoln "still lives," with an influence for good among men.

Download or read book Lincoln Speeches written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The defining rhetoric of Abraham Lincoln – politician, president, and emancipator Penguin presents a series of six portable, accessible, and—above all—essential reads from American political history, selected by leading scholars. Series editor Richard Beeman, author of The Penguin Guide to the U.S. Constitution, draws together the great texts of American civic life to create a timely and informative mini-library of perennially vital issues. Whether readers are encountering these classic writings for the first time, or brushing up in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, these slim volumes will serve as a powerful and illuminating resource for scholars, students, and civic-minded citizens. As president, Abraham Lincoln endowed the American language with a vigor and moral energy that have all but disappeared from today's public rhetoric. His words are testaments of our history, windows into his enigmatic personality, and resonant examples of the writer's art. Renowned Lincoln and Civil War scholar Allen C. Guelzo brings together this volume of Lincoln Speeches that span the classic and obscure, the lyrical and historical, the inspirational and intellectual. The book contains everything from classic speeches that any citizen would recognize—the first debate with Stephen Douglas, the "House Divided" Speech, the Gettysburg Address, the Second Inaugural Address—to the less known ones that professed Lincoln fans will come to enjoy and intellectuals and critics praise. These orations show the contours of the civic dilemmas Lincoln, and America itself, encountered: the slavery issue, state v. federal power, citizens and their duty, death and destruction, the coming of freedom, the meaning of the Constitution, and what it means to progress.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: His Speeches and Writings Although Lincoln probably had not read Godwin's Political Justice, Godwin's theories along with those of Rousseau may have come to him as to many, in the never ending succession of ripples in popular thought created by the original intellectual splash pro duced by the writings of those worthies. It is just 'as possible that Lincoln made somewhat the same correlation in his own thinking without benefit, either at first or second hand, of Godwin's philosophy. In any event, necessitarianism and perfectionism were inextricably woven into Lincoln's personal philosophy during these early years and remained strong with. Him until his death. Though Lincoln's writings are few between 1888 and 1842, these were otherwise busy years during which his legal practice was growing, his political leadership of the Illinois Whigs was becoming firmly established, and his social position was gradually elevated. He courted the Kentucky belle Mary Todd, jilted her, suffered terrific hypochondria, recovered, and re-established his position as favored suitor to marry her November 4, 1842.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: A Study From Life Lincoln was much like the great south-carolina statesman in his dialectical style and modes of thought; his written speeches, of which the Cooper Institute speech is the most conspicuous example, are structurally like Calhoun' s; they have all the logical strength and adaptation, but are without the classic pose and oratorical rhythm which come from long study. But Lincoln's speeches, unlike Calhoun' s, are recep tive to feeble and strong minds alike; his thoughts and reason Ing are abstruse, but his style and mode of statement are com prehensible by all. And in addition, as Herndon says: There were no words in the English language containing the color ing, shape, exactness, power, and gravity of his ideas. Hence he was compelled to resort to stories, maxims, and jokes to embody his idea, that it might be comprehended.

Download or read book The Words of Abraham Lincoln Classic Reprint written by Abraham Lincoln and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Words of Abraham Lincoln One who appreciates the Gettysburg address and the two inaugurals is not content unless he can go further. There is much in Lincoln's writings of the highest literary quality. There is much more that justifies the student of American history in continuing his study of Lincoln. In the prepara tion of this collection the editor has had in mind the chief value which it should possess for the reader. That value is to be found in the revelation which his writings give of the personality of one of the greatest public characters in all history. So those speeches and letters have been chosen which reveal the most of the man, Lincoln. With this in view, the notes are meant to explain the man and the occa sion, and with the letters give such information as will enable the reader to understand better why the letters were written and who Lincoln's correspondents were. The few obvious errors in grammatical or rhetorical form are not noted. The split infinitive is one of Lincoln's com monest failings, but the critical student can find better use for his time than in hunting for faults.
