About Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Metropolitan Record whose Prospectus is printed on the rear wrapper calls itself "an unswerving opponent of fanaticism in every form and an advocate of constitutional liberty and the rights of the citizens against despotic usurpation." <br /> This pamphlet is "A mock trial wherein Lincoln was charged with treasonable intent purposes and designs and of having committed among other unconstitutional acts the following: 'Declared War against Sovereign States under pretence of repossessing himself of certain forts and other property; arresting citizens without process of law; suppressed liberty of speech; stopped publication of certain newspapers; placed the military power above the civil power; overthrown State Sovereignty; forced unconstitutional acts through Congress.' At the conclusion of the trial the Court addressed the 'Criminal' as follows: 'You have been tried and found wanting. You have been given the opportunity of saving a nation but you have stabbed it to the heart. You have converted your country into a despotism'."
