Excerpt from Lincoln: One Hundred Years Later

In Nicolay and Hays edition of Lincoln's Works, Notes for a Law Lecture are given. While undated, Nicolay and Hay give July 1, 1850 as an approximate date. These give to us the most comprehensive view in Lincoln's own words of the dignity of his chosen profession, and the avenues to success in it. They also indicate something of his idea of professional ethics, and are a good example of his pow er of clear and forceful statement.
