Although the natural and easy manner in which the

Lincoln Was the small but gallant band Of states
men who adhered his fortunes, and who, after his
DEATH esteemed their greatest pride TO have been
bered amongst his followers. But II Ia not In his
public life only that the Duke has displayed those
qualities which have pointed him out 10 his sovereign for

With the disregard or time honored prejudice, the
