Herndon concedes the indecency of the jokes and stories, and gives (Volume I, page 55) a copy of The First Chronicle of Reuben, and an account of the slight provocation under which Lincoln wrote it; and, in two foot-notes, describes the exceedingly base and indecent device by which Lincoln brought a
