Little Sermons in Socialism by Abraham Lincoln

Little Sermons in Socialism is a historical reissue of Burke McCarty’s original 1910 pamphlet, first published in The Chicago Daily Socialist.

This new edition, edited by Erik Houdini and released through HOUDINI Magazine, expands the original 14-page tract into a 58-page archival volume. 

The core text has been carefully re-edited and paired with 14 Bible verses, reflecting the original's intent to merge Christian ethics with socialist principles. This edition emphasizes both preservation and presentation, offering a high-quality artifact for study and reference.

Additional materials include:
-Karl Marx’s 1865 letter to President Abraham Lincoln
-Eugene V. Debs’ address on Lincoln’s birthday
-Abraham Lincoln’s suppressed Kalamazoo speech from 1856

This volume transforms a forgotten socialist pamphlet into a foundational document.

It belongs in the personal library of every American socialist.

Special Thanks to Marxists.org for additional Marx Letter, the Kalamazoo City Museum for 1856 speech transcription.
