Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, the Seer From this method of treatment to that of writing a complete and exhaustive history of the period - 1840 to 1865 - political, financial and military, and thus including Lincoln, we must at times dissent and hope for a narrative of his own cycle in the history of our country. It appears that foreign observers were more fortunate in their estimate of our great War President. They began to perceive earlier than did we that he moved in an orbit all his own. Ibey concede that no one like him appeared since the days of Luther and Cromwell and William of Orange, not one of whom compares with Lincoln measured by the touchstone of performance. Not one of these had the immense range of mind or the multitudinous activities. Not one of these was called upon to see and speak to so many people in a lifetime as Lincoln saw and spoke to in a few short years. Not one of these was called upon to cope with so many various and difficult problems as was he. Not one of these gave himself so wholeheartedly and completely to a cause as did he. Not one of these had the wide human sympathies which were his, which included love for the stranger, which embraced sympathy for the down trodden - for the slave. Not one of these with whom he might be compared lived practically his whole life and prepared during his whole life to carry out, without compromise, one overmastering idea, to reachone goal, accomplish one, up to his day unsolvable, insuperable task. And this is just what Lincoln did. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
