Lincoln in Peoria

The current issue of the Claremont Review of Books (subscribe here) features Harry Jaffa’s wonderful review/essay “Lincoln in Peoria.” Lincoln’s great Peoria speech is available online here.
Our friends at the CRB have kindly made Jaffa’s review/essay available online for our readers in light of MIchael Barone’s column today on the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. If you have any interest in the subject, you will find Jaffa’s essay to be a source of understanding and enlightenment.
