Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 7: Letters and Telegrams Messages to Congress Military Orders Autobiography, Etc There is a logical division of Lincoln´s correspondence at the date when he became President. Before that his letters were largely personal, private, and professional, and when they dealt with politics, did so without the note of authority. After his inauguration as Chief Executive of the Republic, and Commander-in-chief of its armies and navies, the letters of Lincoln became official in character and content, though advisedly not always in tone. They dealt rarely with purely personal concerns, and generally treated of military and administrative matters. Largely, too, the personnel of Lincoln´s correspondents changed. Accordingly the editor of the present edition has divided the correspondence at March 4, 1861, repeating the entries of correspondents´ names in the few cases where these belong to the two periods of Lincoln´s career. The correspondence is docketed by the names of addressees, and these divisions are arranged chronologically according to the date of the first letter in each division. This is the natural fashion in which Lincoln, according to the practice of all the lawyers of his day and of many at the present time, arranged his correspondence.
