What did Lincoln read?

[RJNorton]

Donna, do you have Harry Pratt's The Personal Finances of Abraham Lincoln? If so, on pp. 180-181 there is a large list of book purchases for the White House library made by both Abraham and Mary. Examples: Mary bought a book titled "History of Birds" for $.63. She also bought a set of Shakespeare for $12.00. Abraham bought a volume of Mrs. Sigourney's poems for $1.25.
