Abe Lincoln's appearance.

--Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, of Staunton, thus describes Lincoln:

Abraham is, as well as he could judge, about an inch or an inch and a half taller than him self--Mr. Stuart is over six feet in height — an awkward, gaunt frame, long arms, with hands like rakes, long, slender legs, and feet like mattocks.
