Excerpt from The Crisis, Vol. 1: Its Rationale

A crisis in national a flairs is not necessarily measured by days or months. The hist part of this endeavor to show the rationale of that through which our nation is passing, was published early in May, 1861. It announced facts and principles that have since been more fully realized. The magnitude of the occasion continues, and reasons similar to those which prompted the first publication seem now to require its extension.

The first part not being temporary in character and purpose, and being introductory to, and closely connected with, what is now added in the second part, it is republished therewith.

It is not supposed by the author that a full statement of the philosophy of this crisis can be embodied in a brief publication; but it is believed that leading principles, being recognized, even though briefly and imperfectly stated, the whole subject may be more easily comprehended and acted on.

The first part was so entirely impersonal, that the author's name seemed immaterial. It being necessary, in the part now added, to treat somewhat of the actors in the history which we are making, remaining anonymous would, perhaps, not be entirely justifiable.
