A Memoir of Abraham Lincoln: President Elect of the United States of America Robert Black

Not many days will elapse from the printing of these pages ere the sun will rise on a new president. James Buchanan will have retired from power, and A braham Lincoln will reign in his stead. A lready, for every biographical purpose, he is the actual president: already he has become the cynosure ;already the eyes of men are fixed on him. And in his person is presented for the admiration of civilized nations a spectacle, the simple grandeur of which is far more impressive to the thoughtful mind than all the pomp and pageantry of emperor and king.
