McClure's Magazine for Novembor.

The editor of McClure’s Magazine calls attention to the unaccountable neglect of Lincoln as a subject for a magazine serial. Books about Lincoln have necessarily—like all books of biography—a limited circulation, and only once before has a magazine published a life of Lincoln. People at large know little of the first forty years of Lincoln’s life. Few know that he was a man grown before he left Indiana for Illinois. He spent fourteen .years in southern Indiana, and left there in his twenty-sec-ond year. There is a remarkable resemblance between the early portrait of Lincoln in McClure’s for November and the portraits of Emerson.
