Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Enjoy a collection of quotes from Lincoln's addresses and speeches which draws from numerous source materials and papers to bind over 700 Presidential observations under one cover. These aren't just political insights: personal observations on life are also well detailed. -- Midwest Book Review
Readers may read Boritt's concordance from cover to cover or dip into sections as the spirit moves them. Lincoln's love of words makes any time spent reading his prose time well spent. -- Review

Review
For the past several days I have been relishing your book of Lincoln quotations -- savoring this one, being surprised at another one that I had forgotten. This elegant anthology is not merely a compilation of Abraham Lincoln's most memorable statements; it is a guide to Lincoln's thinking. Indispensable.
(David Herbert Donald, Author of the best-selling biography Lincoln )

My 21 yr old son wanted this book, while at the Abe Lincoln Presidential museum. It was quite costly there, so I ordered it 'like new' through Amazon for a great deal! My son really enjoys this book. Fascinating quotes!

Of the people, by the people, for the people by Abe Lincoln,
By Bob Glass (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Of the People, By the People, For the People (Hardcover)
This book is one of the best, if not the best of the new Lincoln books of this year. Gabor Borit is one of Americas most revered Lincoln scholors, and this book shows why. A must read if you enjoy the history of the Civil War and Lincoln.
