NICOLAY AND COL. JOHN HAY.
This great work, begun with the sanction of
President Lincoln, and continued under the
authority of his son, the Hon. Robert Il. Lin
coin, is the only full and authoritative record
of the life of Abraham Lincoln. Its authors
were friends of Lincoln before his presidency;
they were most intimately associated with
him as private secretaries throughout his term
of Office, and To them were transferred upon
Lincoln's death all his private papers. Here
will be told the inside history of the civil war
and of President Lincoln's administration, i'm
portant details of which have hitherto re-

pear in this authentic history. BY reason of
