Both reveal infinite patience, tireless persistence in research, and more than adequate powers of synthesis. They have been successful in shedding new light on some of the minor activities of the Civil War President. Lincoln and the Patronage, as its title indicates, concerns itself with those earthy and somewhat sordid details so inevitable in every successful political career in a democracy. However high-minded such a character may be, no matter how devoted to social advance, his aims may be attained only with the help of assistants at the various executive levels so far from idealism that their first concern is with the quid pro quo. Lincoln was no exception. Lincoln went into the Republican convention of 1860 a minority candidate, and his managers were forced into a long series of commitments to bring him to the fore. Those who were brought into his camp by promises, equally with those who supported him from the outset, those outstanding opponents who needed to be conciliated so that the party might present a united front, the followers of all of them who must be kept loyal so that they would deliver the support they pledged, those who had been Lincoln's friends, benefactors, or mere acquaintances during his obscurer days-all these had to be taken care of. And to the extent of Lincoln's harassed ability, they were. So only a few high- ranking diplomats, even fewer Army officers, and practically no Cabinet members were chosen first of all on the basis of ability or experience. Is it any wonder, then, that Lincoln's official family was so often a worry rather than a help to him; or that several long and humiliating years elapsed before the truly capable commanders emerged from amid the welter of politically eligible ones? Hardly had he paid the debts incurred during his first campaign when along came the election of '64. It came at a time when the Union fortunes and Lincoln's reputation had reached their lowest ebb. How could such handicaps be overcome save by new commitments and fresh compromises? I cannot praise too highly the masterly fashion in which these collaborators have threaded their way through this tangled covert. It is amazing how, through a combination of know-how and plain perseverance, they have managed to tie up so many men, whether important or obscure, first with their particular services to the Lincoln cause, second with their precise ambitions, and finally with the rewards or disappointments meted out to them. To the extent that history is reconstruction by mosaic detail, the authors have written almost perfect history. Dr. Pratt has chosen a far more restricted theme, but has uncovered facts 222213 and conclusions much more surprising. He destroys for all time the legend, so widely held, that Lincoln had no interest in money matters and was an innocent in handling them. Of course there was in him none of that hard greed and amorality as to means which characterize all accumulators of wealth. But more important, he was not at all the shiftless needy gull of common report. Dr. Pratt now brings us the truth. Lincoln was interested from his earliest days in making a livelihood, and managed to do it. His legal fees were reasonable but adequate, and he insisted, even to the point of litigation, on collecting them. Some of his charges were large for that day and locale. In a small way he bought land and loaned money, and when he loaned it he usually asked the top legal interest. He lived modestly and well within his means; so that when he left Springfield for Washington, there was a tidy accumulation back home left in charge of a local banker. As President, he saved nearly his entire salary (Dr. Pratt does not satisfy our curiosity as to how he managed that), and prudently invested the savings in government bonds. When his executor, Judge David Davis, filed his final account, Lin- coln's estate amounted to $110,000. Quite a surprise for the multitudes who have been led to believe that the greatest humanitarian and statesman of our annals was financially a bit of a fool!
