By ELMO SCOTT WATSON _--.._ NLY about once In the proverbial "blue moon" fa there published a book whlcb Is so Important as to Justify us In regarding Its appearance as "news." In order to creserve attention as a news event. It usually bas to reveal some hitherto unknown facts about a subject whlcb fa of considerable lDterest to a large number of people. In some cases a new biography will measure up to that standard, but It is a com paratlvely rare occurrence for anything, both new and of vital lm~JQr tance, to be discovered about a man great enough to answer the quallflca· tlon of "considerabl e Interest to a large number of people." In America about the only men of wbom this would be true would be Washington and Lincoln. There have been so many books written about Abraham Lincoln-the number runs Into the hundreds-a nd the whole field of Llncolnlana has been so thoroughly combed that lt does not seem possible to discover anything new about him. Nor Is It likely that a new Lincoln book woul.i ordinarily excite more than casual Interest and discussion. However. within recent months there has ap· peared a new work on Lincoln which bas been "news," in that news stories have bein written about lt. This ad· dltlon to the store of knowledge about the Great Emancipator Is the two volume work written by the late Albert J. Beveridge, former Unite!" States senator from Indiana, under the title of "Abraham Lincoln, 18091S.'i8," and published by the Houghton Alln'lln company. It Is a striking fact about thl'l "Lincoln" that the literary critl<·s have been unanimous lu pronounrlng It the most Important study of Lin coin that has yet been written and one newspnp<'r devoted no less thun a full page to a review of It h;v a man of national prominenc-e. He wu!' Claude G. Bowers, "ke)·noter." at the Democratic national convention, at Houston, last year, a friend of Beveridge and himself a b!ograplwr and historian of renown. In his review he said: "It seems Incredible that we have had to wait for almost seventy years for a biography of Lln<"oln dPal lng adequately with the first fifty years of bls lffe. The monumental biography of Nicolay and Hay was written with frank partisanship and. worse still, under the critical eye of Robert Todd J.lncoln, who. until the end of his long life, appeared more prone to concealment than to reveJa. atlon. The Herndon biography was unquestionab ly the most starkly honest but Its very honesty damned It In the eyes of those who preferred to deify rather than to explain Its subject. By that time we had entered upon the mytb-maklng period, foilowed with a flood of biographies written In the spirit of extravagant praise. and the result has been that the Lincoln wbo lived before the debate ha.~ been comparative ly unknown until now , So we have bad the great number of books on Lincoln written by every type ot person-by biographers and professional historians, by teachers and preachers, by lawyers, by poets and by novelJBts. Arid, as one reviewer baa pointed out "Hitherto eveQ DeW book on LlDr•tn bas been I Legs Are Bad Bo:rers of today could no more bos 2G rounds or more tban they could llwlm tbe English channeL They will duck bouts where they are asked to co 12 or 1~ rounds.

Senator Beveridge, however, undertook to present, not Beveridge's Lincoln, but Lincoln • • • What Is more, Beveridge did what be started out to do.'' How does It happen then that the real Lincoln has at last been revealed by a biographer? Perhaps the answer can be found In a statement b' Mr Bowers In which he commented upon tbe fact that Beveridge does justice to the true greatness of Stephen A. Douglas as lt has ne'l'er been done by historian before. He writes· ''There was probably a psychological reason for the Beveridge understand lng of Douglas-fo r there are sumP striking resemblance s In both the gifts and l'areers of the two men. Both were orators, fighters, possessed of da!1h and a certain masterfulnes s of manner; both won renown early: both were chairmen of the senate committee on territories and helped mold legislation that made states; hoth Incurred the enmity of powerful In elemP.nts In their own party." the same way It may be said that Beveridge had an understandin g of Lincoln because both were skillful politicians who became statesm~n In the truest sense of the word and In bls own disappointme nt in the arena of politic-s, Beveridge could appreciate the disappointme nt which came to Lincoln early In his politlcul ca· r\!er. So It seems entirely plausible that when "a statesman looks at Lin coin," especially at the period In Lin colo's life when the evolution of the politician Into the statesman was taking place, as It was In the period which Beveridge covers In his two volumes, there should result an ade· quate understandin g of the for<'e~ which were shaping his life and whl<'il were to make him the great man that he was. The story of how this latest Lin coin biographer set about and ac<'om· plished his tusk Is In Itself a romantic· SHerul years a~o Beveridge one. noted principally as a brilliant orator and one of the outstnnding person~lltles In the United States senate amazed the literary world with his two-volume "Life of John 1\larshall.'' It was balled by scholars not as only one of the fine£t biographies that hail ever been written by an American. but as a noteworthy contrlhutlon to American history because Beveridge bud made a sweeping and magnlflc·ent interpretatio n of the early days of the republic through the life of the When In 19?2 great chief justice. Beveridge suffered his final dllmp polntment In politics and saw that be had missed a promised greatness In this field of activity, he again turned to writing and determined to take up again the thread of the American story, Interpreting a later phase of It than the Marshall phase In terms of the career of a man greater even than Marshall-A braham Lincoln. Of that nmhitlous project and wbat It lm·olved. Bowers says: Needless to 11ay, Mr. Beveridge did not approach hill colossal task In the spirit of an lconoclal!t; nor In that of a blind worl!hlper, willing to prostitute his nrt as a biographer to tbe prel!ervation of a myth. We have heard him say that he would hardly have bad thP courage to undertake the task at all had he had the slightest con<'eptlon ot the superHclallty with whf<'b the field bad been searrh~d before.
