Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lincoln's Religion: The d104 of Addresses
In 1872, the Rev. James A. Reed was delivering a lecture on The Later Life and Religious Sentiments of Abraham Lincoln which attracted enough atten tion to justify the editor of Scribner's Monthly in requesting the manuscript for publication. The text of this lecture appeared in this issue of that magazine for November, 1873, introduced by an editorial footnote reading as follows: The accompanying article was originally prepared by its author (the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, in Springfield, Illi nois), as a lecture, and has been repeatedly given in that form to various audiences. At the request of the Editor of Scribner's Monthly, to whom it seemed that the testimony contained in the lecture was of permanent value, it is here presented with slight alterations, and with no departure from the rhetorical style which was determined by its original purpose.
