Oxford University Press 2002. Hardcover. New. The most eloquent president in our history Abraham Lincoln's literary ability was extraordinary. Indeed he is the one American president whose writings could be considered literature.<br> Now in This Fiery Trial William Gienapp has brought together over one hundred pieces by Lincoln ranging from his first published political statement printed in the Sangamo Journal in1832 to his final public address delivered just days before his assassination. <br> Here of course are some of the greatest speeches in American history including the Gettysburg Address and the Second Inaugural Address. Other pieces include his "A House Divided" speech to the Republican State convention in 1858 excerpts from his famed debates with Stephen Douglas and the text of the Emancipation Proclamation. The writings provide a documentary account of Lincoln's thought and how it evolved over time. We can trace for instance how his thoughts on slavery and emancipation changed through the course of the war from a rather limited view free only slaves used for military purposes to his ringing endorsement of the Thirteenth Amendment which ended slavery forever. Gienapp has provided detailed introductory headnotes for each piece and the book includes an extensive chronology of Lincoln's life.<br> Often eloquent frequently amusing and occasionally profound these writings offer an intimate portrait of Lincoln--in his own words.

<p>Philadelphia: Barclay & Co. 1864 1865 1865. FIRST EDITION. 1 vol. 9-1/4" x 5-3/4" original pictorial wrappers illustrated pagination irregular but complete original stitching completely unsophisticated without repairs internally clean and bright mild general handling but surely one of the nicest copies you're going to encounter VERY GOOD. McDade 623 According to RBH only 2 copies have ever appeared at auction. The last one in 2008. Variant issue mentioned by Howes with the illustration of the execution moved to p 96; also with misprint of copyright date as "1864". Featuring engraved portrait of Mary Surratt on cover. The assassination of Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth on the night of April 14 1865 need no retelling. Time however which has its own way with our judgments has raised some doubts about some of these. The unfairness of the military tribunal is now manifest and the guilt of Mrs. Surratt is certainly doubtful. This was amply demonstrated by the fact that only two years after the crime the government could not obtain the conviction of her son John Surratt in the civil courts in Washington.</p> Philadelphia: Barclay & Co., 1864 [1865]
