It falls far short, however, of what it ought to be, to faithfiilly portray his thoroughly unselfish character. There are no records of the dailv acts of kindness and readv svmpathv which he bestowed upon those with whom he came in contact, which made for him innumerable friends and endeared him to people from all ranks in life. It was the fbrgetfulness of self that enabled him to be never wearv in well doing ; and trust in his Heavenlv Father gave him the strength to fulfil his duties. MARY KNIGHT LINCOLN. Rrookline, i8qq.

Frederic Walker Lincoln was born in Boston, in a house on Hanover street, the twenty-seventh day of Febraar\', 1817, and baptized July 27 in the same year, by Llenry Ware, Jr., then commencing his ministry to the Second Church, of which Mr, Lincoln was all his life a member and active worker. He came from sound Puritan stock, being a descendant of Samuel Lincoln, one of the early settlers of the town of Hinghara, Mass., in 1637.

  • Decadence of the Militia
    To quote this book, use the following: Benedict, George Grenville. Vermont in the Civil War. Burlington VT: Free Press Association, 1888 (Note chapters 1-20 are in volume 1, chapters 21-32 in volume 2. Page numbers are true to the original.) CHAPTER II. The State unprepared for War—Decadence of the Militia—Efforts to Revive the Militia in 1856—The Brandon and Montpelier Musters of 1858 and 1860—The Militia of 1860—Military Property of the States, January, 1861—Secession Movements—Judge Smalley's Charge to a New York Grand Jury—Senator Collamer's Bill to Close Southern Ports—Attitude of Representatives of Vermont in Congress—Preparations for War—General Order No. 10—The Peace Conference— Accession of Abraham Lincoln. If it be true, as has been said, "that when the war did actually come no people on earth were less prepared for it than those of the United States,"1 it is also true that the people of no State of the Union were less prepared for it than those of Vermont. The tide of emigration to the great West and the Pacific slope had kept the State stationary in population and well nigh stationary in means. The Vermonters were the heirs of a rich inheritance of military glory, for they were the lineal descendants of the men who, fourteen years before their Commonwealth was admitted to the Union, and while it was as yet an unorganized community, pledged to the Continental Congress the service of "more than five thousand hardy soldiers, capable of bearing arms in defence of American Liberty."2 This amounted to an offer of the 1 Address of General W.
