John Hay / Abraham Lincoln A History 10 Volumes Civil War Scarce

  

New York: The Century Co. First thus edition of the definitive Lincoln biography, written by his personal secretaries.

The work is scathing in its critique of Lincoln's adversaries, but remains the definitive and most comprehensive portrait of his life and work. A better than VG set with soiling and spotting to top page ends, minor spotting to front page ends; dulling to spine gilt; minor scuffing and wear to cloth, but internally and externally a clean set.
