TWO VOLUMES IN BEVERIDGE'S LIFE OFUNGOLN Work Will Be Off Press in Fall of This Year, Says Publisher. "The life of Abraham Lincoln,” by the late United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Hoosier author, will contain more facts about Lincoln’s earlier life and his times than ever before has been asjembled. Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers, made this announcement today in connection with a statement that the book will be published in the fall of this year. The Lincoln work will appear in two volumes, illustrated and sell for $12.50. Mrs. Beveridge is spending the winter at Beverly Farms, Mass., aiding Worthington C. Ford, secretary of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and others in preparation of the manuscript.

Wide Study Was Made “With his unique, driving energy, Senator Beveridge got, at first hand, sources of Lincoln’s life and for the history of this time never before considered by any other Lincoln biographer,” said R. L. Scaife, Houghton Mifflin Company representative, who was here at the time of Mr. Beveridge's death. “He personally read literally hundreds of thousands of pages of legislative journals, contemporary papers, account books, court records and contemporary manuscript correspondence. He brought to the consideration of this material a realistic mind of the first order, free of all prepossession, undeluded by legend and sentiment,” Scaife said. Book in Two Volumes “The facts are martialed in the compelling order and presented with the eloquence and dramatic force of which Senator Beveridge was master. The book is beyond question the definitive work of its subject and period, and one which will be read with profound interest and enlightenment by every American. '“The Life of Lincoln,’ projected like the ‘Life of John Marshall,’ in four volumes, was planned to take up the story and carry it, from the point of view of the life of Lincoln, down through the Civil War. The untimely death of the author prevented this conclusion. Beveridge had finished the first two volumes, bringing the narrative down to ana through the Lincoln-Douglas debates, which led to Lincoln’s nomination for the presidency. They complete, therefore, the story of the preparatory phases of Lincoln’s life.” Aids Wedding Church in Will P.V United Press NIjTW YORK, Jan. 6.—A little Episcopal church in lowa where she was married to the civil war leader, Gen. John M. Schofield, will receive a $2,000 request under the will of Mrs. Georgia K. S. Hewson.
