原版英文小说Abraham Lincoln 2
In using for purposes of drama a personality of so wide and recent afame as that of Abraham Lincoln, I feel that one or two observationsare due to my readers and critics.
First, my purpose is that not of the historian but of the dramatist.
The historical presentation of my hero has been faithfully made inmany volumes; notably, in England, by Lord Charnwood in a monographthat gives a masterly analysis of Lincoln\'s career and character andis, it seems to me, a model of what the historian\'s work should be.
