Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A List of Lincolniana in the Library of Congress
Publications devoted to the assassination, to the arrest and trial of the conspirators, and to discussions of their guilt and punishment are in cluded. As to all else, the reasons for insertion will be apparent and it remains only to add that a few titles in the first edition have been dropped as not within the prescribed limitations.
Obviously enough, much of the matter thus listed is of but tri?ing value. Plainly, too, the student of Lincoln must resort to wider sources in the effort to learn what manner of man he was. For example, of the 157 volumes cited in Mr. Rothschild's recent work but 53 are here set down. Yet this is the roll of that thousand and more who have been moved by a great man's life and death to commit their thoughts of him to prints especially devoted to that end.
Use of the list will be facilitated by observing the method of preparation and arrangement.
