Book description
A friend just reminded me of this review by Liking it this evening. In reviewing it, I realized that 2016 could possibly be called the sesqucenteniannual (one hundred fifty-first) anniversary of Lincolns death in 1865. But more than that, the great book reviewed here is not only available from many dealers, but a Kindle edition can be had for three bucks! Since there are nothing but words in the volume anyway, a digital edition loses nothing in comparison to a paper one.In this review I used spoilers to divide it into parts. In the case of the present book, there is nothing in any of these sections which would spoil anyones reading of the book. If the description of the section interests you, take a look.Lincoln is either the obvious subject, or plays a main part, in hundreds of books. Just to name a few of fairly recent vintage, there is the full scale biography by David Herbert Donald Lincoln, the very popular work by Doris Kearns Goodwin Team of Rivals, which is both more general (its billed as a multiple biography of not only Lincoln, but of others in his administration, and in the Army which he command) and more specialized (in that it is a study of Lincolns political genius) than Donalds book; and the following Lincoln books, mentioned among others, in a recent NPR report: The Fiery Trial, Battle Cry of Freedom, and Land of Lincoln (See the following Goodreads reviews:Team of Rivals http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Battle Cry of Freedom http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... )The appeal of the book under review here is that it combines a very readable and interesting biography with a large selection of Lincolns own writings. Thus it is of interest to readers who are not looking for a very detailed, in-depth or specialized study of Lincoln, but a fairly brief overview of his life, and in addition a wide selection of his writings, the latter a feature of this book missing from the other books mentioned.When the book was published in 1940, it was the largest single-volume collection of Lincolns writings ever published. The writings include addresses, proclamations, many different categories of letters, and generous selections from the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates.IntroductionThe following section is a short overview of a (short itself) Introduction to the book by Allan Nevins, entitled Lincoln in His Writings.(view spoiler)[The ten page Introduction by the historian Allan Nevins starts by noting how, in the two or three decades following the Civil War, Lincoln was often viewed as just one actor on a crowded stage of notables, whose stars still shone brightly in the memories of those who had lived through the event. Indeed, when Ulysses S. Grants autobiography was published in the year he died (1885) it caused a sensation, and was universally acclaimed. As well, Douglas, Seward, Chase, Sumner, and above all Robert E. Lee still held the eye of the public. When Oliver Wendell Holmes gave his Memorial Day address in 1884, and spoke the immortal line In our youth our hearts were touched with fire, Lincoln was not mentioned. This is not to say, of course, that Lincoln had been forgotten. Nevins point is that the country was still too close in time to forget any of these men, or to lose the detailed memories of the myriad events and personages which had defined what the country had been through. With passing time, however, the more minor players on that stage faded, and one came to dominate the others, indeed to tower above them.In his essay Nevins traces the development of Lincolns ideas, character, and moral qualities by referring to key examples of his writing (all contained in the volume) at various stages of his life. He refers to three different stages of this development: (i) Lincolns early years in the public eye (exemplified by his 1845 letter to Williamson Durley on the Texas question); (ii) the development of Lincolns faculty of close-textured and irresistibly logical reasoning, which Nevins sees dramatized by Lincolns speech in Peoria on October 16, 1854, when he answered Stephen Douglass Springfield defense of the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act; and a final stage, in which he sees a Lincoln who superadded to special moral qualities and special force of reasoning a spiritual quality which not even the great Edmund Burke had ever possessed. Nevins traces this final stage from Lincolns First Inaugural speech, through the Gettysburg Address, to his Second Inaugural, speaking of the noble eloquence of (these) greatest utterances, and вЂ¦ their semi-religious tone.Theres no doubt that this essay is very much a personal view of Mr. Nevins. It is rather nicely done, however, and provides an appropriate introduction to the section containing the writings themselves. (hide spoiler)]
