# Analysis of Judge Magazine, October 4, 1913 The left page features a prominent quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln praising Jacob Abbott's historical series "The Makers of History." This appears to be an advertisement for Leslie's Weekly book series, using Lincoln's authority to endorse the educational value of Abbott's work. The image shows the book set's multiple volumes. The right page is the magazine's contents listing for Vol. LXV, No. 168. It includes typical Judge magazine fare: political commentary, satirical articles with titles like "Dire Distress" and "The Beacon's Bluff," sports coverage, and humorous pieces about contemporary life (automobile terminology, family situations). The bottom advertisement promotes next week's cover illustration about "Wax" by James Montgomery Flagg, suggesting the magazine's ongoing satirical focus on current events and social commentary typical of early-20th-century American humor publications.
