First edition of this complex and revealing biography of one of the most popular Presidents of the United States. Octavo, two volumes bound in three quarter morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, illustrated, tissue-guarded frontispiece to each volume. In near fine condition, bookplate to each pastedown. Praised for his biographies of Chief Justice John Marshall and President Abraham Lincoln, American historian and United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge has introduced the public to the realities of the lives of revered historical figures. Using analysis and thorough investigation, Beveridge was able to contextualize the actions of America's sixteenth president with his traditions and influences in his four-volume biography 'Abraham Lincoln 1809-1858,' published post-humously in 1928. His contributions to historical study cannot be understated, and the American Historical Association's Beveridge Award exists to demonstrate as much.
