"POLITICAL SPEECHES AND DEBATES of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas."
CONTAINS all the important speeches of "The Giants" from 1854 to 1861, giving a fair and full history of the slavery question and the great Constitutional questions involved therein from the beginning of the nation to the outbreak of the Civil War. Though the great Civil War is a thing of the past, the principles over which the war was fought will live till the national life is extinct. The vital question of that day was whether "government of the people, for the people, by the people" should remain or be destroyed. Is it not as necessary to the well-being of government that these principles be maintained to-day? As a fresh attack is now being made on our Constitution, should not every thinking man study the history of those days, that he may know how to direct his efforts to-day? These questions are pertinent, and every American should give them careful consideration. The work contains 555 pages, printed from new, clear type, with numerous full-page half-tone illustrations, including portraits of Lincoln and Douglas.
