 In 1837, Lincoln entered into a partnership with John T. Stuart of Springfield, and in 1841 the partnership was dissolved, when Lincoln became associated with Stephen T. Logan.

In 1845 a new firm was formed, Lincoln and Herndon, which continued until Lincoln's death. During his many years of active legal service Abraham Lincoln was known for honesty of purpose, his high ideals of integrity and for his conscientious principles.

In his discourses his logic was clear and his argument forcible. His homely wit and great fund of stories won many a case for him.
