Lincoln and Douglas debates; ed. by Archibald Lewis Bouton. [*]60c. Holt.
Professor Bouton, as a teacher of argumentation has felt the lack of available material illustrative of the thrust-and-parry of actual debate and has prepared these selections to supply the deficiency, choosing them because of their value both as masterpieces of the art of debate and as historical documents. Of the seven Lincoln-Douglas debates in the senatorial campaign of 1858 in Illinois, those at Freeport, Galesburgh and Alton are printed here entire, prefaced by Lincoln’s speech of June 16 at Springfield, with which he opened the campaign, and supplemented by the famous Cooper institute address of Feb. 15, 1860. The volume is well annotated for class use.
