Preface: "Like Saul of Tarsus, Lincoln when he addressed the Scott Club carried a commission to persecute the unfaithful, -- and the Scott Club speech may be construed as the 'stoning' of Stephen [Douglas]. At least, critics partial to sensational testimony may find cause in the speech to represent Lincoln as malicious and uncharitable. That was in 1852. Then, on some road to Damascus, he looked at politics in another light; and henceforth he spoke against his political rivals in a spirit less vindictive than he had used in his early days. But he grew in power of argument as well as in kindliness of spirit. For years, for example, he struggled to demonstrate the proposition which he eventually demonstrated at Cooper Union. But six years it took him to make the argument effective. Thus, slowly grew Lincoln to power. It is my purpose in the Introduction to trace this two-fold development of Abraham Lincoln: first, to show how he abandoned the spirit of the partisan. For this purpose, the Scott Club speech is compared to the 'Apple of Gold Speech.' To show how Lincoln grew in power of debate, the argument used in the Indianapolis and Leavenworth speeches is compared to the same argument as used in Cooper Union.".

The book is crisp, clean and remarkable as it was Worthington C. Ford's personal copy, signed by him on the front endpaper with an occasional marginal note. Ford has also glued in a folded letter to him from Earl Wellington Wiley who wrote the introduction for this book. Wiley's letter is written on his Ohio State University, Depart. of English stationery: Dear Dr. Ford: I have ordered a copy of "Four Speeches of Lincoln" sent you, and hope it will be sent out shortly. It included the Scott Club speech. I am very interested in the Lincoln biography you are working on and shall look forward to its publication. I am working on Lincoln as a public speaker. Very cordially, Earl W. WileyWorthington C. Ford was the youngest member of a distinguished and notorious family. He was the great-grandson (through his mother) ofNoah Webster.[2]His two younger brothers werePaul Leicester Ford, an eminent biographer and novelist, andMalcolm Webster Ford, a distinguished amateur athlete. Both died May 8, 1902 in amurder-suicidewhen Malcolm shot Paul and then himself.[3] Ford was best known for his edited collections of a number ofFounding Fathersdocuments, including "The writings of George Washington (14 Volumes)", "Alexander Hamilton's notes in the Federal convention of 1787", and "Writings of John Quincy Adams". He also edited collections of the correspondence ofThomas Jefferson,John Adams, and other figures in early American history.[4]Ford's historical work was also notable for his tenure as chief of the newly established Manuscripts Division at theLibrary of Congress. During his time in charge, from 1903 to 1909,[4]he organized a significant effort to photograph and copy manuscripts pertaining to early American history which resided in foreign archives (especially France, Britain, and Spain). In this way, copies of many documents which had been missing since 1812 or earlier were recovered.[5]In addition, he edited and published the completeJournals of the Continental Congress, 17741789.
