| Publisher Description: (LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1897. A Souvenir of the Eleventh Annual Lincoln Dinner of the Republican Club of the City of New York, at the Waldorf, February 12, 1897. The lost speech of Abraham Lincoln was delivered at the first Republican State Convention of Illinois, at Bloomington, on the 29th of May, 1856. The excitement caused among the audience by the speech was so great that the reporters forgot to take their notes, and for many years it was generally supposed that no record of the speech had been preserved. Fortunately, a young lawyer, Mr. H.C. Whitney, took notes and forty years later they were transcribed and published in McClure's Magazine.
