Well-preserved single issue of this uncommon California weekly devoted primarily to news and events in the small artists' community of Carmel-by-the-Sea on the Monterey peninsula.

Quite a number appear specific and plausible others less so: "'How old is that tree Abe' said a friend of the now President when the latter was engaged in the occupation of rail-splitting. 'Well I am not sure; but I am just about to axe him'". Seldom seen in commerce with no copies appearing in auction/catalogue records since 1966.

Abraham Lincoln Engraving.
Engraved oval portrait of Abraham Lincoln the sixteenth president of the United States. Displayed in an antique wooden frame. The engraving measures 4.5 inches by 6 inches. The entire piece measures 10.75 inches by 12.75 inches. In near fine condition. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P. Chase Seward's primary political rival and the leader of a radical faction of the Republican party that sought the immediate abolition of slavery. unknown

ABRAHAM LINCOLN TECHNOLOGY Report of the Commissioner of Patents for the Year 1849. Part I: Arts and Manufactures this volume only containing a patent awarded to a young Abraham Lincoln
Washington DC: Office of Printers to the House of Reps 1850. First Edition. Hardcover. Good . Octavo 626pp. illustrated plus six plates. A good or better copy in contemporary 3/4 black leather and marbled boards. Contemporary ownership signature to front free endpaper and small private library label to front paste-down else unmarked. Mild foxing to first and last few leaves. Extremities rubbed and scuffed and the joints tender but sound. An important volume in the pantheon of presidential books which chronicles on pp. 57 and 262 the award of a patent to then-Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln. Having twice been aboard a riverboat which got stuck on shallow shoals he developed a concept for a bellows fixed under the hull of a riverboat which could be inflated to lift the boat over the obstruction and then retract. Lincoln had been a patent lawyer in the mid-1840s and was closely familiar with the laborious patent application process. <br /> <br /> To this day Lincoln is the only president to have been awarded a patent a fact which contributes to his enduring legacy as an uncommon genius and polymath. As such this tract while unrelated to politics is an essential volume in any substantial Lincoln collection. Uncommon in the trade. Not listed in Monaghan.

Gironi." An unpainted plaster of this sculpture is in the collection of the Canadian Museum of History Ottawa. In fine condition. The piece measures 21 inches by 9.5 inches. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. In his Address at the Sanitary Fair in Baltimore Maryland in April of 1861 Lincoln stated: “The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty and the American people just now are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two not only different but incompatible things called by the same name liberty. And it follows that each of the things is by the respective parties called by two different and incompatible names…liberty and tyranny.†unknown

Springfield: Charles H. Lanphier 1861. 4 pp. Folio. 16-1/4" x 23-1/2.". Lightly chipped blank inner edge. Each page printed in six columns each separated by a rule. Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Register no friend of Abraham Lincoln was a Democratic Paper supporting the Crittenden Compromise. Reporting on State and National issues the Register notes "The Crittenden Resolutions have strong friends but the ultra republicans will not take them." Lincoln had insisted that his allies hold firm against Crittenden's Compromise. The Register rebukes Lincoln for his famous declaration that "the Union could not endure permanently part slave and part free." Developments in the fracturing Union are reported. <br /> Lincoln had been elected President nearly three months before the appearance of this issue. His inauguration would occur five weeks later. Paid advertisers include John McClernand and John Stuart who advertise their legal services in the first column of page 1. The large number and variety of advertisements for an array of medical complaints about four columns are surprising- - and a little disturbing. <br /> This issue also reports an incident involving the John Brownites at Boston who were snubbed by British Lord Brougham after inviting him to attend a convention discussing the abolition of slavery.

[Lincoln, Abraham]
Emancipation Proclamation. General Orders No. 1. War Department Adjutant General’s Office Washington January 2 1863.
Washington: Government Printing Office January 2 1863. Rare first War Department and fifth overall printing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Twelvemo General Orders No. 1 extracted from the larger volume of orders for 1863 4 pages disbound. President Lincoln had intended to issue the order earlier in 1862 but deliberately delayed its release until after the Union's strategic victory at Antietam at which point he announced the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. General Order No. 139 September 22 1862 which declared that all slaves held in rebelling states would be forever free from the first day of January 1863. The text of the final Emancipation Proclamation present in this order is noted for its direct and decisive language: "By the President of the United States of America . That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then thenceforward and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States including the military and naval authority thereof will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons and will do no act or acts to repress such persons or any of them in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom." The first printing for the War Department of General Orders No. 1 was distributed to various military outposts and bureaus throughout the United States. Based on the extensive research of Charles Eberstadt the copy for the War Department was the fifth time the final version of the Emancipation Proclamation appeared in print on January of 1863 following three hastily prepared issues for the State Department and another for Lincoln's hometown Illinois States Journal newspaper in Springfield Illinois. A copy of the War Department Printing was included in the Grolier Club's One Hundred Influential American Books Printed before 1900. Eberstadt 12; Grolier Club One Hundred Influential American Books 71; Streeter 1751. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco case. A scarce work. The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1 1863 represented a pivotal moment in the trajectory of the American Civil War and the broader struggle over the institution of slavery. Although it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals the proclamation declared that all persons held as slaves in states or parts of states still in rebellion against the United States were to be henceforth free. This executive order grounded in Lincoln's war powers as commander-in-chief was intended primarily as a military measure to weaken the Confederacy by undermining its labor force and discouraging foreign powers from recognizing or supporting the secessionist cause. The proclamation also signaled a significant shift in Union war aims reframing the conflict from a struggle solely to preserve the Union to one explicitly linked to the abolition of slavery. While its immediate legal impact was limited to areas outside Union control the Emancipation Proclamation laid the groundwork for the eventual passage of the Thirteenth Amendment which formally abolished slavery throughout the United States.

New York: Currier & Ives 1865. Color print 11-3/4" x 15-1/2" by sight. A black man newly freed from slavery kneels at Lincoln's feet his shackles broken. He kisses Lincoln's hand.

Very Good.<br /> <br /> "This commemorative print was issued soon after the assassination of President Lincoln to comfort his supporters. The semi-allegorized representation portrayed the former president as the emancipator of enslaved African Americans guided by divine principles" Description online at The Met. <br /> Entering Richmond in 1865 Lincoln was met by many former slaves who kneeled before him. Lincoln told them to stand and thank God not Lincoln for their freedom. A decade later the Colored People's Educational Monument Association headed by the African-American abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet. created a memorial to Lincoln. The result was a sculpture erected in 1876 in Lincoln Park near Capitol Hill depicting a supplicant slave and a towering Lincoln. Known as the Emancipation Memorial or the Freedmen's Memorial it generated some contemporary criticism for its depiction of the inferior position of the black man. <br /> Gale 2311.

[Lincoln, Abraham].
General Orders No. 1: Thirteenth Amendment. War Department Adjutant General's Office. Washington January 8 1866.
8vo one sheet printed on both sides. Even toning and aging small closed tear to the upper margin; otherwise very good. This is a rather scarce government document that informs the military that the "Thirteenth Amendment" has passed and slavery is officially abolished. Article XIII states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This document is signed in type by William H. Seward 1801-1872 as the Secretary of State. Congress would follow with a Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give African Americans the same rights as all citizens but this small printed document presenting the essence of the "Thirteenth Amendment" is an important piece of history.

LINCOLN'S TREATMENT OF GEN. GRANT
New York: Sold at 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8pp caption title disbound a bit of blank margin wear Good. At head of title: 'Document No. 12.' <br /> <br /> This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet portrays President Lincoln as an incompetent military strategist who perpetually "interfered with General McClellan both when he was general-in-chief and afterward when he commanded the brave Army of the Potomac." Worse Lincoln has "The Taint of Disunion." He not McClellan the Democratic presidential candidate supported the Jeffersonian right of revolution in a speech during his single term in Congress. He and other "ultra abolitionists" are the "original secessionists and disunion men." <br /> George McClellan wants the rebel States to return to the Union but Lincoln's policies render that impossible. Lincoln "regards the States as dead and gone. He magnifies and strengthens the position of the Richmond dynasty" by seeking to negotiate "only with Jefferson Davis." <br /> Monaghan 326. Not in LCP.

[LINCOLN, Abraham -- CIVIL WAR].
Lincoln’s treatment of Gen. Grant; Mr. Lincoln’s treatment of Gen. McClellan; The taint of disunion. . . In: Document No. 12. . . .
New York: printed by Thomas R. Dawley 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8vo. 8 pp unpaginated. bound into mostly blank volume. Half-calf over marbled boards marbled endpapers raised bands on spine red black & gilt morocco spine labels minor scuffing wear to corners still VG copy from the library of noted New York City book collector Thomas Bell with his bookplate designed by Nancy Barnhart on front pastedown who was noted for his impressive library devoted mostly to Americana with many titles on Lincoln and sold at Anderson Galleries Auction in 1917. First edition of this scarce Democratic Party Copperhead influenced presidential campaign pamphlet perpetuating the complaints of mistreatment by Democratic candidate and former Civil War general George B. McClellan. This piece appears to have been published at the height of the Cold Harbor campaigns by the Union Army under command of Lieut. General Ulysses S. Grant which were suffering heavy casualties and significant blows to northern morale during the Civil War. The opening letter from President Lincoln denotes his complete confidence in Grant for the 1864 campaigns. In contrast McClellan has presented all of the attempts by Lincoln to encourage move troops and override orders from General as commander of the Union Army. In addition the Democratic ticket under McClellan wanted to negotiate with the Confederates immediately and place the agreement before the voters. Subsequent Documents included further charges against President Lincoln’s arbitrary arrests corruption and frauds Republican opinions about Lincoln and more. Dawley was self-styled as the Publisher to the Million and established himself at 13 and 15 Park Row as the “cheapest printer in the world†whose most successful Civil War publication was the best seller Incidents of American Camp Life. See: Nicolay & Hay Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln Bibliography No. 271; Philip R. Bishop Princes May Compete For But Only Huntingtons Can Buy Endpapers 2012 pp. 14-16. (printed by Thomas R.
