One of the most striking ex-amplifications in huian history of Sir Henry's Taylor aphorism that "The World knows nothing of its greatest men," is found in the story of Abraham Lincoln, once a "Rail-Splitter," a country lawyer, and later President of the United States. It was in the latter capacity that in successive issues of "Punch" he wes caricatured as a misshapen baboon pitchforked into the rule of an unfortunate republic.
