In The Year 1780, Abraham Lincoln, A Member Of A Respectable And Well- To-Do Family In rockingham County, Virginia, Started westward To Establish Himself In the Newly-Explored country Of Kentucky. He Entered several Large Tracts Of Fertile Land, And Returning to Virginia Disposed of His Property There, And With His Wife And Five Children Went Back To Kentucky And Settled in jefferson County. Little Is Known Of This Pioneer Lincoln Or Of His Father. Most Of The Records Belonging to That Branch Of The Family Were Destroyed in the Civil War. Their Early Orphanage, The Wild And Illiterate Life They Led on The Frontier, Severed their Connection With Their Kindred in the East. [mehr]

Lincoln's Speeches And Letters _Lincoln's First Public Speech. From An Address To The People Of Sangamon County. March 9, 1832_ Upon The Subject Of Education, Not Presuming To Dictate Any Plan Or System Respecting It, I Can Only Say That I View It As The Most Important Subject Which We, As A People, Can Be Engaged In. That Every Man May Receive At Least A Moderate Education, And Thereby Be Enabled To Read The Histories Of His Own And Other Countries, By Which He May Duly Appreciate The Value Of Our Free Institutions, Appears To Be An Object Of Vital Importance, Even On This Account Alone, To Say Nothing Of The Advantages And Satisfaction To Be Derived From All Being Able To Read The Scriptures And Other Works, Both Of A Religious And Moral Nature, For Themselves. For My Part, I Desire To See The Time When Education--And By Its Means Morality, Sobriety, Enterprise, And Industry--Shall Become Much More General Than At Present; And Should Be Gratified To Have It In My Power To Contribute Something To The Advancement Of Any Measure Which Might Have A Tendency To Accelerate That Happy Period. With Regard To Existing Laws, Some Alterations Are Thought To Be Necessary. Many Respectable Men Have Suggested That Our Estray Laws--The Law Respecting The Issuing Of Executions, The Road Law, And Some Others--Are Deficient In Their Present Form, And Require Alterations. But Considering The Great Probability That The Framers Of Those Laws Were Wiser Than Myself, I Should Prefer Not Meddling With Them, Unless They Were First Attacked By Others, In Which Case I Should Feel It Both A Privilege And A Duty To Take That Stand Which, In My View, Might Tend To The Advancement Of Justice. But, Fellow-Citizens, I Shall Conclude. Considering The Great Degree Of Modesty Which Should Always Attend Youth, It Is Probable I Have Already Been More Presuming Than Becomes Me. However, Upon The Subjects Of Which I Have Treated, I Have Spoken As I Have Thought. I May Be Wrong In Regard To Any Or All Of Them; But, Holding It A Sound Maxim That It Is Better Only To Be Sometimes Right Than At All Times Wrong, So Soon As I Discover My Opinions To Be Erroneous I Shall Be Ready To Renounce Them.

Statesmen--Even The Greatest--Have Rarely Won The Same Unquestioning Recognition That Falls To The Great Warriors Or Those Supreme In Science, Art Or Literature. Not In Their Own Lifetime And Hardly To This Day Have The Claims To Supremacy Of Our Own Oliver Cromwell, William Iii. And Lord Chatham Rested On So Sure A Foundation As Those Of A Marlborough Or A Nelson, A Newton, A Milton Or A Hogarth. This Is Only Natural. A Warrior, A Man Of Science, An Artist Or A Poet Are Judged In The Main By Definite Achievements, By The Victories They Have Won Over Foreign Enemies Or Over Ignorance And Prejudice, By The Joy And Enlightenment They Have Brought To The Consciousness Of Their Own And Succeeding Generations. For The Statesman There Is No Such Exact Measure Of Greatness. The Greater He Is, The Less Likely Is His Work To Be Marked By Decisive Achievement Which Can Be Recalled By Anniversaries Or Signalised By Some Outstanding Event: The Chief Work Of A Great Statesman Rests In A Gradual Change Of Direction Given To The Policy Of His People, [mehr]

The Subject Of This Memoir Is Revered By Multitudes Of His Countrymen As The Preserver Of Their Commonwealth. This Reverence Has Grown With The Lapse Of Time And The Accumulation Of Evidence. It Is Blended With A Peculiar Affection, Seldom Bestowed Upon The Memory Of Statesmen. It Is Shared To-Day By Many Who Remember With No Less Affection How Their Own Fathers Fought Against Him. He Died With Every Circumstance Of Tragedy, Yet It Is Not The Accident Of His Death But The Purpose Of His Life That Is Remembered. [mehr]
