careful examination of this work shows that il is
no cheap and fanciful edition, gotten up merely
for purposes Of popular and ready sale, but book
Of real merit. The introduction by Rev. j. II.

In the March Century Messrs. Nicolay

with the Emancipation Proclamation We
quote "Mr. Lincoln took the various man

came before Mr.. Lincoln had entirely finish
ed revising the engrossed copy Of the proc

away from his office to friendly handshaking
and festal greeting with the fast arriving
official and diplomatic guests The rigid
laws of etiquette held him to this duty for
the space Of three hours. Had actual nee
essty required it, he could of course have
left such mere social occupation at any mo-
ment: but the President saw no occasion
for preclpitancy. On the other hand, he
probably deemed it wise that the completion
pf this momentous executive act should be
attended 10y every circumstance of delibera

act itself was only the simplest and briefest
formality. 1t could in no wise be made
sensational or dramatic. Those character
stirs attached if at all, only to the long
past decisions and announcements Of July
% and September - of the previous year
Those dates had witnessed the mental con.
tict and the moral victory. No ceremony
was attempted or made Of this final official
