Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Debates in Illinois: Between Stephen A. Douglas, and Abraham Lincoln When one has written a hurried book, one likes to dwell upon the fact, that if the time had not been wanting one could have made it a great deal better. This fact is of the greatest comfort to the author, and not of the slightest consequence to anybody else. It is perfectly reasonable, therefore, that every writer should urge it. A work which seeks only to acquaint people with the personal history of a man for whom they are asked to cast their votes - and whose past ceases to concern them in proportion as his present employs them - will not be numbered with those immortal books which survive the year of their publication. It does not challenge criticism; it fulfills the end of its being if it presents facts and incidents in a manner not altogether barren of interest.
