THE COVER
The cover shows a silhouette profile of Lincoln and a reproduction of a portion of the second manuscript copy of the Gettysburg address, made by Abraham Lincoln on the morning of November 19, 1863, in Gettysburg, and used by him in giving the address that day. There are five manuscript copies of this address in Lincoln's handwriting: the first, partially written in Washington before the trip to Gettysburg and finished on the evening of his arrival there; the second, written in Gettysburg the following morning; a third, made for George Bancroft; a fourth, written to be sold with the manuscript of Edward Everett's address at the New York Sanitary Fair; and a fifth and final manuscript copy, written by Lincoln in 1864 for purposes of publication in Autograph Leaves of Our Country's Authors
