omely countenance and his shrewd mother wit,shown in his celebrated conversations overflowing in humorous and pointed anecdote, combined withan accurate, intuitive appreciation of the questions of the time, are recognized as forming the besttype of a period of American history in which the strength of the Union was tested and the abilityof the people to maintain a free government in this country was fully established. As the years rollby from that stormy period of doubt and battle, the name of Lincoln looms up with increasingluster. His was the brain that shaped the policy of Congress and cabinet, his the unconquerablespirit which fed the flames of patriotism and kept them in a continuous glow of fervent heat. Withunbending will and a prescience which could pierce the future, the path of war was made the wayto victory—the union restored, a nation saved. His heart was as warm as his hand was strong,and when the great triumph came his was the voice first to proclaim amnesty and peace.
