. Life of Abraham Lincoln; being a biography of his life from his birth to his assassination; also a record of his ancestors, and a collection of anecdotes attributed to . te in life, without name or fame, or seeming prepara-tion, to be snatched from obscurity, raised to supreme command at a suprememoment, and intrusted with the destiny of a nation. Where did Shakspere gethis genius? Where did Mozart get his music? Whose hand smote the lyre ofthe Scottish plowman and staid the life of the German priest? God alone, andas surely as these were raised by God, inspired of God watS Abraham Lincoln; anda thousand years hence no story, no tragedy, no epic poem will be filled withgreater wonder than that which tells of his life and death. If Lincoln was notinspired of God, then there is no such thing on earth as special providence, or theinterposition of divine power in the affairs of men. My fellow-citizens, a noble manhood, nobly consecrated to man, never martyr to liberty, the emancipator of a race, the savior of the only freegovernment among men, may be buried from human sight, but his deeds willlive in human gratitude forever. -fc^:^^|^^v:^^:3 -jNO.
