The article in Scribner's Monthly February offers amusing personal reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln. Brooks, who knew Lincoln since 1850, recounts stories of his home life and ceremonies, including Lincoln’s careful, offhand speech style and a dinner serenade scene with Little Tad at the White House.
A reminiscence reveals President Lincoln’s fascination with a photograph’s gaze on a crossed leg and the foot’s indistinct outline. It recounts his witty reactions to word origins and a Brow River picket joke involving Secretary of War Stanton and General Foster, told with innocent humor.

The piece urges individual judgment over imitation and warns against relying on others for success. It emphasizes bearing personal responsibility for mistakes and developing one's own conclusions through reasoning and effort rather than borrowed ideas. It notes interdependence yet asserts true growth comes from personal exertion.
A compressed reminiscence of Irish barrister Curran’s sharp exchanges with judges such as a sour Chancellor and Judge Robinson. It portrays his witty retorts about law libraries, poverty, and integrity amid contemptuous peers and a hostile bench.
