ABRAHAM LINCOLN"S OPINION OF ABBOTTS" HISTORIES.
In a conversation with the President just before his death, Mr. Lincoln said: "_I want to thank you and your brother for Abbotts" Series of Histories. I have not education enough to appreciate the profound works of voluminous historians; and if I had, I have no time to read them. But your Series of Histories gives me, in brief compa.s.s, just that knowledge of past men and events which I need. I have read them with the interest.
To them I am indebted for about all the historical knowledge I have._"
