Among recent facts of literary and popular interest, is the announcement of a new illustrated biography entitled The Every-Day Life of Abraham Lincoln, written by Those who knew him.

The plan of the work' is that of an exhaustive biography, giving not only the general facts of his life in chronological order, but incidents, anecdotes and every day facts minutely personal, such as could only be given by those in closest intimate ana confidential relations, during the various periods of his life. These were, in pursuance of the plan, enlisted for the work, embracing those who knew him as a boy, as a flat-boatman, a rail-splitter, a clerk in a country store, a law student, a lawyer, politician, President every period of his eventful and most interesting life. Each author writes of the facts of his life during the period in which he knew him facts and incidents that came under his own observation and within his own knowledge. A book thus written, and so exhaustive in fact concerning one of so enduring a place in the hearts and admiration of his people, is assured of an enthusiastic welcome and a lasting place in popular esteem. We are told that the last literary work performed by the late Judge David Davis, Lincolns life-time friend, was one of the many contributions to this volume, in which he took a deep personal interest.

It is a grand career and character that is thus so minutely delineated What loyer of simple worth and homely virtues is not touched by the story of Lincolns pure and manly life? In what other country could it have been possible to produce a character and career like his? The work is rendered further attractive by nearly 100 superb engravings from original designs made especially for this book, illustrating scenes and incidents in his life.
