(The bibliographical notes which the author made while this work was in preparation reached a total of several thousand. From these he at first selected about five hundred titles, being practically a catalogue of his own Lincoln library, a list of books about Lincoln which he considered worth buying. But this also appeared much longer than was needed for the purposes of this book, and he has therefore prepared this shorter list of books bearing more directly upon the subject matter of this volume, and for the convenience of such readers as are unfamiliar with the literature of the subject he has added comments upon some of the books or articles.)

I. Lincoln's Own Writings and Speeches

Abraham Lincoln: Complete Works. Edited by John G. Nicolay and John Hay. In Two Volumes. New York: The Century Company, 1894.

There is a larger edition in twelve volumes, with some additions, and there are two other notable collections, both of them good. No one of these, however, is entirely complete; and there are volumes such as "The Uncollected Letters of Lincoln" edited by Gilbert A. Tracy (Houghton Mifflin & Co., 1917) which supplement the "complete" works. Very nearly everything which the reader requires, however, is in the Nicolay and Hay work.

II. Lives of Abraham Lincoln

Autobiography. Facsimile Reproduction of Autobiographical Sketch written by Abraham Lincoln for Jesse W. Fell in 1860. Published by his daughters at Normal, Ill.

The Autobiography of Abraham Lincoln. Sketch furnished by him in 1860 to John Locke Scripps. New York: Francis D. Tandy Company, 1905.

This and the preceding item contain virtually all that Lincoln told the public about himself.

Life of Abraham Lincoln. By John Locke Scripps. 1860. Tribune Tract No. 6. Prepared from information given by Mr. Lincoln and read and approved by him before publication.

"The Wigwam Edition." The Life, Speeches and Public Services of Abraham Lincoln, Together with a Sketch of Hannibal Hamlin. New York: Rudd and Carleton, 1860.

It disputes with Scripps the honor of being the first printed life of Lincoln, and is of great interest as showing how little was known of Lincoln in 1860 apart from the sketch which he had himself prepared.

Life of Abraham Lincoln. By J. Q. Howard, Cincinnati: Anderson, Gates and Wright, 1860. With pictures of the Wigwam on the back and is as rare and desirable as the real "Wigwam Edition."

Life of Abraham Lincoln (of Illinois). With a Condensed View of his Most Important Speeches; also a Sketch of the Life of Hannibal Hamlin (of Maine). Authentic edition. By J. H. Barrett. Cincinnati: Moore, Wilstach, Keyes & Co., 1860.

Lives and Speeches of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin. Life of Lincoln by W. D. Howells. Life of Hamlin by John L. Hays. Columbus, Ohio: Follett, Foster and Company, 1860.

The Life and Public Services of Hon. Abraham Lincoln: to which is added a Biographical Sketch of Hon. Hannibal Hamlin by D. W. Bartlett. Authorized edition. New York: Derby & Jackson, 1860.

Life and Public Services of Hon. Abraham Lincoln of Illinois and Hon. Hannibal Hamlin of Maine. Boston: Thayer and Eldridge, 1860.

The above listed campaign biographies, all of them, except the Wigwam Edition, based directly or indirectly upon the information furnished first to Scripps, and then to other biographers, are all of remarkable interest as showing what was then available to make a biography out of, and what various biographers, under stress of the campaign and the enterprise of publishers, were able to make out of it.

A list might be added of the 1864 campaign biographies, but for the present purpose they are unimportant, as also are the first that followed his death.

The Life of Abraham Lincoln. By J. G. Holland. Springfield, Mass., published by Gurdon Bill, 1865. By far the best life of Lincoln published in the first few years after his death, and noted as containing the Bateman interview, which gave rise to the controversy concerning Lincoln's religion.

Life and Public Services of Abraham Lincoln, Together With State Papers. By Henry J. Raymond. To which are added anecdotes and reminiscences of Frank B. Carpenter. New York: Derby & Miller, 1865. At the time of publication this was the best life of Lincoln in its assembling of State Papers and important documents.

The Life of Abraham Lincoln from His Birth to His Inauguration As President. By Ward H. Lamon. Boston: James R. Osgood & Company, 1872. First attempt to give to the world the story of the "real" Lincoln and a conspicuous example of the fate a man may suffer at the hands of his friends. Invaluable in its material, but with shocking bad taste; and said by Herndon to have been written by Chauncey F. Black.

Brings the narrative down to the time of Lincoln's inauguration and was intended to have been followed by a second volume, but was received with such disfavor that the concluding volume was never issued.

Recollections of Abraham Lincoln 1847-1865. By Ward Hill Lamon. Edited by Dorothy Lamon. Chicago: A. C. McClurg and Company, 1895. Second Edition of the Same, with Memoir of Ward Hill Lamon by his daughter, Dorothy Lamon Teillard. Washington, D. C. Published by the editor, 1911.
