wholly unmystical a mind as Herndon's. Neither of them seems to have
any understanding of those agonies of spirit through which Lincoln
subsequently passed which will appear in the account of the year 1862.
See also Miss Nicolay, 384-386. There is a multitude of pronouncements
on Lincoln's religion, most of them superficial.
