TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:

Every effort has been made to faithfully reproduce the original book in this etext. The inconsistent, alternate and archaic spelling and usage that one would expect in a collection of poets and authors from 1915 and earlier have been preserved. Errors in the Index, obvious and simple enough to be assumed typesetter's errors, have been corrected. Other problems and corrections are listed below.

Page: 1 Text: extends his grateful acknowledgment Change: acknowledgement changed to acknowledgment (to match spelling of section title)

Page: 6 Text: Abraham Lincoln Foully Assassinated, by Tom Taylor Change: removed comma after Taylor

Page: 11 Text: The Funeral of Lincoln, in East Room of White House Change: removed comma after White House

Page: xvi Text: Yours truly, Change: Comma added

Page: xvii Text: It matters not to me whether Shakspeare be well or ill acted Change: Shakespeare changed to Shakspeare (alternate spelling used by Carpenter)

Page: xx Text: performed this function in a still more Change: added the word "in"

Page: 22 Text: Like all great souls with vision unobscured Change: version changed to vision

Harper's Bazar (page 109) did not change the spelling to Bazaar until about 1929.

No poet is mentioned for "The Deathbed" on page 145. However, this poem seems to be "Now He Belongs to the Ages" by William L. Stidger, from The Lincoln Book of Poems, published by R. G. Badger, copyright 1911, page 30. (available on archive.org)

Pages v, vi and vii refer to Lincoln's correspondent as both Johnson and Johnston. Left as printed.
