Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Letters of President Lincoln: On Questions of National Policy President Lincoln, during his administration, has found himself placed, more than once, in a position where he had no precedents to guide him, either in the administration of his predecessors or in the policy pursued by the Rulers of Free Peoples elsewhere. In these emergencies he has taken counsel of his own vigorous common sense, and his strict integrity and honesty of purpose, and done what he believed to be right and just. In some instance, the course he has deemed proper to pursue has called forth severe animadversion, either from political friends or opponents. Under these circumstances, most President would have avoided any public explanation of their views and course; but Mr. Lincoln, strong in conscious integrity, and unversed in the arts of diplomacy, has preferred - and we think it will generally be acknowledge, wisely preferred - to avail himself of the opportunity offered by circumstances, to explain and defend his measure by a public letter. We have believed that very many would be glad to have these letters - which, though peculiar in style, are marked by very high ability and statesmanship - in a collected form, and have therefore prepared them for publication.
