Description:Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Essay, Read Before the Cliosophic Society, Lancaster, February 7, 1908 The general familiarity with the subject, the massiveness of the material and the traditional time-limits of this occasion make difficult a comprehensive treatment of the life and work of America's great emancipator. It will be conceded, however, that a man assumes national proportions by virtue of the magnitude of the problem with which he wrestles, the quality of character which he develops and the service which he renders his age. We shall, therefore, confine ourselves to a consideration of three points: the Problem, the Man and the Solution. The problem was no less a task than the preservation of the union. It had world-wide bearings. It involved the destiny of the West. Democracy itself was hanging in the balances. The man who could quell an incipient rebellion, harmonize discordant elements, and "preserve, defend and protest the Government" would win for himself a permanent place among the immortals of history. The tendencies of disunion were found in the peculiar conditions of the colonial period. The thirteen colonies, which gradually crystallized out of the mass of pioneers on the Atlantic border, were both divided and united by geographical, national, social and religious barriers and bonds.
