To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That was his statesman- ship — and it was supreme. To make each device a part of a great and over- arching plan; to use for the hidden place, as for the most obtrusive, the best possible materials and the best pos- sible skill, — this is architecture; this is statecraft ; this is greatness. The thought of the higher purpose of the war dominated every act of Lin- coln's administration, kept him and his subordinates in civil and military life re- gardful of the constitution and of the nation- al ...laws, even in the life-and-death struggle against their open enemies. He so rev- erenced the laws that he was loth to dis- regard them even to protect them. He knew that they had grown out of the experience and the conscience of genera- tions of wise and just men. This delayed the Emancipation Proclamation when his political partisans and his abolitionist sup- porters were clamoring for immediate ac- J9 DEDICATION tion; and it prompted the noble senti- ments of charity which breathed through all his references to the rebellious States.
