among the few great works which nsa art has given

from all others that II may be considered essentially
Mr. MArshA'sown. The publishsrs believe 1t will be
accepted the standard portrait Of Mr. Lincoln and
grounds for that belief they invite attention to the
hearty concentrations 1t has received from persons
