From the publisher's introductory remarks, "President Lincoln, during his administration, has found himself placed, more than once, in a position where he had no precedents to guide him, either in the administrations of his predecessors or in the policy pursued by the Rulers of Free Peoples elsewhere. In these emergencies he has taken counsel of his own vigorous common sense, and done what he believed to be right and just." Scarce. Three copies located in institutions. Few auction records.
