LIVING QUESTIONS A COLLECTION OF ALL THE RECORDED UTTERANCES OF ABRAHAM LIN- OF TODAY. EDITED BY H. S. TAYLOR and D. M. FULWILER Paper, 25 cents. Cloth, 75 cents. THE TRUSTY PUBLISHING COMPANY 418 Roanoke Bldg., Chicago, Ill. At the present time, when our Great Republic seems to be rapidly entering upon new and untried ways of profound moment to us and our posterity, it is but a reasonable prudence that the American people should seek counsel from the now universally admitted wisdom and patriotism of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. To facilitate such inquiry is the purpose of this book. In the following pages are presented, as we believe, every recorded quotable expression of Mr. Lincoln bearing upon questions of to-day, with dates and places of delivery and with authorities therefor cited. For convenience these quotations have been arranged topically. Every accessible source of information has been attentively examined by the editors, patiently and fairly, with the purpose of collecting in one compact volume everything of enduring value and present application that ever fell from the lips or flowed from the pen of the Great Emancipator. In the course of our investigations, besides numerous files of old newspapers, pamphlets, etc., the following well known authors have been consulted, viz. : Bancroft, Sumner, Arnold, Barrett, Brockett, Herndon and Weik, Raymond, Hanaford, Howells, Powers, Piatt, Townsend, Schurz, Coffin, Morse, Van Buren, Gilmore, Lamon, Tarbell and Davis, Hapgood, Nicolay and Hay, Carpenter, Irelan, Kelly, Stoddard, Coggeshall, Boyd, Tarbell and Shibley.
