BOOTH AND THE SPIRIT OF LINCOLN BOOTH AND THE SPIRIT OF LINCOLN. By BERNIE BABCOCK, Author of "The Soul of Ann Rutledge," etc. What became of John Wilkes Booth? Mrs. Babcock, a student and lover of Lincoln, has made an imaginary romance of the escape of Booth and his subsequent appearance as a "living dead man." The beauty of the book lies in the conversion of Booth from a bitter enemy to a lover of Lincoln through understanding with the spirit of the martyred president. No admirer of Lincoln can resist its human appeal. $2.00 BERNIE BABCOCK THE SOUL OF ANN RUTLEDGE The story of Abraham Lincoln's Romance. One of the rarest and most exquisite love stories in history. Sir Gilbert Parker writes: "The character of Ann is drawn with great charm and delicacy and Lincoln is seen at his best. I believe the book will have a prodigious sale. It overcomes one. I scarcely know why. I wonder if it is the infinite interest one feels in the character of Lincoln, of whom I have always been an intense admirer. It stifles criticism." SEVEN LARGE IMPRESSIONS THE SOUL OF ABE LINCOLN The romance of a Southern belle and a Union officer in which is reflected the serene spirit and heroic faith of that older Lincoln, whose strength was the strength of the Nation. The Times Book Review: "By this book and her previous novel, "The Soul of Ann Rutledge' Mrs. Babcock has taken an honorable place among the interpreters of Lincoln's character. A moving and appealing story." COPYRIGHT, 1925, BY BERNIE BABCOCK PRINTED BY J. B.
