This book was released on 2006 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is H. Jack Lang's original selection of Abraham Lincoln's most interesting speeches and letters, from his first public position as postmaster in Illinois to the highest political office in the land. We read his witty testimonials, sharp commentaries, clever social correspondence, astute handling of angry generals and cabinet officers, and above all, his wisdom in motivating political supporters and defusing challengers -- all of which show a sagacity in politics, an eloquence of simple rhetoric, and an invariable gentlemanliness rarely seen in public life today. Lincoln was the first of the "great communicator" presidents. His words are as much alive today as when he uttered them 150 years ago. - Back cover.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln: As Reflected in His Briefer Letters and Speeches In the following pages an attempt has been made to collect, for the first time, Lincoln's masterpieces of brevity; the brevity which was not only the soul of his Wit, but the sinew of his strength and the heart of his compassion. Lincoln, said the London Spectator, could never tolerate the tyranny of mere words, but always pressed through them to the reality beyond. When Lincoln Spoke he was an orator, never an elocutionist. Said Robert G. Ingersoll, in drawing this distinction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Presidents of the United States written by James Sayler and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While America's presidents hold great sway and command much attention during their terms of office, the measure of their historical impact often comes from what they write. The papers produced by each commander-in-chief helps to determine how history will remember him, since the writings provide first-hand accounts of the presidency. Mirroring the personality of the president, these writings vary from the pedestrian to the prolific. Little of note remains from the tenure of Zachary Taylor, while the products of the Nixon era continue to spark national debate. This book gives a listing of the major pieces of literature produced by each president, as well as an overview of researching presidential records. In providing an introductory bibliography, the book becomes an excellent starting point for anyone researching the presidency in general or a president in particular.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln: Being Extracts From the Speeches, State Papers, and Letters of the Great President Ost books of selections from the writings and conversations of w Abraham Lincoln are designed primarily to show the peculiarities of his unique q personality. Composed largely of his humorous stories, his witty and satirical comments upon his contemporaries, and anecdotes revealing the eccentricities of d his genius, they uniformly produce a cari N cature of the accidental rather than essen J tial features of him who stands as the ideal type of American manhood. In this anthology this limited and thor oughly culled field has been avoided, and Nhe broader domain of Lincoln's genius explored to find the fruits of his ripened wisdom rather than the flowers of his brilliant and pungent personality. The mind and the soul of the man are shown, possibly too purely and severely. Yetwhile softening details are lacking in this portrait, all the strong and well-beloved lineaments of Lincoln are preserved, each line as he himself drew it. Every passage is authentic and authoritative, the source and date of its utterance being given. The extracts are arranged in chronological order. The index of the book is by subjects.
