Another English writer in describing the pres

when he says:
ITO say that he is ugly is nothing; to add that
his figure is grotesque is to convey adequate
impression. Fancy a many six feet high, and
then out of proportion; with long bony arms and
legs, which somehow to be always in the
way; with great rugged, furrowed hands which
grasp you like wise when shaking yours with

Ward Lamon, who knew him intimately, goes
more into details He says: Mr.. Lincoln was
about six feet four inches high, the length of his
legs being out of all proportion to that of his
body. When he sat down in chair he seemed
no taller than average man, measuring from
the chair to the crown of his head but his knees
rose high in front, and a marble placed on the
cap of one would roll down a steep descent to
the hip. He weighed about $50 pounds but he
