Lincoln's offices, Springfield, Illinois

Title: Lincoln's offices, Springfield, Illinois
LC Subject: Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865
Photographer: McIntosh Stereopticon Co.
Description: His legislative career, which stretched over several sessions, for he was thrice re-elected, in 1836, 1838, and 1840, was not remarkably brilliant. He did, indeed, not lack ambition. Together with his reputation and influence as a politician grew his law practice, especially after he had removed from New Salem to Springfield, and associated himself with a practitioner of good standing. He had now at last a fixed position in society. He became a successful lawyer, less, indeed, by his learning as a jurist than by his effectiveness as an advocate and by the striking uprightness of his character; and it may truly be said that his vivid sense of truth and justice had much to do with his effectiveness as an advocate.
