Of the People, by the People, for the People and Other Quotations from Abraham Lincoln Hardcover - 1996
by Gabor Borritt (Editor)
One of America's most beloved presidents, Lincoln was also among its most brilliant orators. This collection, compiled by eminent Lincoln scholar Gabor Boritt, gathers 750 of the president's most memorable thoughts, from profound meditations on the nature of democracy to colorful pieces of folk wisdom. Bringing together Lincoln's most inspired oratory with his common sense, unquenchable humor and moments of lucid philosophical reflection, this edition breathes new life into the legacy of Lincoln.
From the rear cover
Of the People, By the People, For the People captures the best of Lincoln's thought, bringing readers closer to the quintessential man than any history or biography can. Unforgettable lines and memorable thoughts from speeches, debates, and other public statements make up this book; little-known sayings from his voluminous body of private letters, drafts, and fragments, and even some previously uncollected writings, also serve as the gateway to Lincoln's brilliance and insight. This collection also contains the full text of three of Lincoln's most celebrated speeches: the Farewell to Springfield, Illinois, his hometown; the Gettysburg Address; and the second inaugural address of 1865.
