From the Preface: Dr. Hill's volume has been written to express the ideals of Abraham Lincoln and he is right in contending that whenever Lincoln's immediate task of preserving the peace of America had been attained, he would have given himself with full devotion to the ideal of adjusting issues between the nations in a World Court. Dr. Hill's analysis makes clear that Lincoln would have stood for a world to be ruled not by war, but by law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
