‎ABRAHAM LINCOLN‎

‎The First War Department Printing of the Emancipation Proclamation Bound with 400-plus 1862-1863 General Orders including the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation‎

‎<p><i>"All persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of States are and henceforward shall be free."</i></p><p><b>Also Bound with an 1863 Compilation of <i>General Orders Affecting the Volunteer Force… </i>for Jan. to June 1862 including </b><b>the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. </b></p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Printed Document. <i>Emancipation Proclamation</i>. Signed in type by Lincoln Secretary of State William H. Seward and Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas. General Order No. 1 War Department Adjutant General's Office Washington January 2 1863 3pp. intended for all military commanders in the field. Dated in print January 2 but consistent with the time it normally took for military orders to be published it likely came out closer to January 7. Earlier separate printings are very seldom available. Eberstadt: Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation # 12.<br /><br />Bound together for Army paymaster Major N.S. Brinton with a 26-page handwritten subject index followed by separately printed and paginated orders from Jan. 1 to June 30 1863. Brinton or a clerk apparently wrote the index as the orders were received. Since a printed index would have been available soon after the last order it was likely bound in 1863. This sammelband also contains <i>General Orders Affecting the Volunteer Force Adjutant General's Office 1862</i>. Washington: Government Printing office ca. March 1863 with printed subject index pp I – LVI and pages 1-158.<p>The first edition 1863 orders are mostly for court martials organization of commands etc. but two of the documents deserve special mention.</p><p><b>General Order No. 100 April 24 1863 "Instructions for the Government of Armies of the United States in the Field."</b>Known as Lieber's Code this describes and defines legitimate ends of war and permissible and impermissible means to attain those ends for instance calling for civilian populations to be treated well so long as they did not resist military authority. It spells out conduct relating to martial law military jurisdiction treatment of non-combatants spies deserters and prisoners of war etc.</p><p>During the Napoleonic Wars Franz Lieber fought for his native Prussia and was wounded at the Battle of Waterloo. After emigrating to America he lived and taught in South Carolina for two decades. Two of Lieber's sons fought for the Union and another died fighting for the Confederacy. Lieber became known for his scholarship and thinking on rules of warfare necessary to inform and protect soldiers civilians and commanders. Henry Halleck who became general-in-chief in July 1862 solicited Lieber's views and then ordered 5000 copies of his report printed. Halleck and Stanton were especially concerned with the treatment of escaped slaves who were forbidden by Federal law from returning or being returned to their former masters and the introduction of "colored soldiers" into the army after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. They asked Lieber to revise the 1806 Articles of War. Lieber complied and Lincoln promulgated the rules in April 1863.</p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>15. Military necessity admits of all direct destruction of life or limb of armed enemies and of other persons whose destruction is incidentally unavoidable in the armed contests of the war… it allows of all destruction of property and obstruction of the ways and channels of traffic travel or communication and of all withholding of sustenance or means of life from the enemy; of the appropriation of whatever an enemy's country affords necessary for the subsistence and safety of the Army and of such deception as does not involve the breaking of good faith either positively pledged regarding agreements entered into during the war or supposed by the modern law of war to exist. .But. Men who take up arms against one another in public war do not cease on this account to be moral beings responsible to one another and to God.</i></p><p><i>16. Military necessity does not admit of cruelty—that is the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge nor of maiming or wounding except in fight nor of torture to extort confessions. It does not admit of the use of poison in any way nor of the wanton devastation of a district. It admits of deception but disclaims acts of perfidy; and in general military necessity does not include any act of hostility which makes the return to peace unnecessarily difficult.</i>"</p><p>The Code provided a blueprint for hundreds of war crimes trials and helped explain the Union's unpopular decision to cease prisoner exchanges so long as the South refused to exchange black prisoners on equal terms with white ones. It later became the basis for international law promulgated by the Hauge and Geneva Conventions.</p><p><b>General Order No. 143 May 22 1863 established the United States Colored Troops.</b></p><p><b>Back to the 1862 Portion</b></p><p>Orders include <b>the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation</b> Gen. Orders No. 139 September 24 1862 pp. 118 - 121 as well as two acts of Congress that Lincoln incorporated into the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. Unlike the complete first editions of the orders from the beginning of 1863 described above the orders represented here from the first half of 1862 were all reprinted together for the War Department in March of 1863.</p><p>General Orders No. 27 March 21 1862 prints the <b>March 14 Act of Congress "<i>to make an additional Article of War</i>" which Lincoln included in the text of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.</b></p><p>"<i>Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled That hereafter the following shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the army of the United States and shall be obeyed and observed as such:</i></p><p><i>Article - All officers or persons in the military or naval service of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the purpose of returning fugitives from service or labor who may have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due and any officer who shall be found guilty by a court martial of violating this article shall be dismissed from the service.</i></p><p><i>Sec.2. And be it further enacted That this act shall take effect from and after its passage.</i></p><p><i>Approved March 13 1862</i>" page 11</p><p><b>Lincoln's July 25 1862 Proclamation is followed by "An Act to suppress Insurrection to punish Treason and Rebellion to seize and confiscate property of rebels and for other purposes."</b> Lincoln incorporated the ninth and tenth sections into the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation:</p><p>"<i>Sec.9. And be it further enacted That all slaves of persons who shall hereafter be engaged in rebellion against the government of the United States or who shall in any way give aid or comfort thereto escaping from such persons and taking refuge within the lines of the army; and all slaves captured from such persons or deserted by them and coming under the control of the government of the United States; and all slaves of such persons found on or being within any place occupied by rebel forces and afterwards occupied by the forces of the United States shall be deemed captives of war and shall be forever free of their servitude and not again held as slaves.</i></p><p><i>Sec.10. And be it further enacted That no slave escaping into any State Territory or the District of Columbia from any other State shall be delivered up or in any way impeded or hindered of his liberty except for crime or some offence against the laws unless the person claiming said fugitive shall first make oath that the person to whom the labor or service of such fugitive is alleged to be due is his lawful owner and has not borne arms against the United States in the present rebellion nor in any way given aid and comfort thereto; and no person engaged in the military or naval service of the United States shall under any pretence whatever assume to decide on the validity of the claim of any person to the service or labor of any other person or surrender up any such person to the claimant on pain of being dismissed from the service.</i>" The complete act is printed in full on pages 73-7 here</p><p><b>The Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation General Orders No. 139 War Department September 24 1862.</b>Signed in type by Lincoln Secretary of State William H. Seward and Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas. Washington DC: Government Printing Office reprinted ca. March 1863.</p><p>"<i>I ABRAHAM LINCOLN President of the United States. hereby proclaim and declare that . the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States. That it is my purpose upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tending pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all Slave States so called the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States and which States may then have voluntarily adopted or thereafter may voluntarily adopt immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent with their consent upon this continent or elsewhere … will be continued … That on the first day of January in the year… 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</i> …" G.O. #139 printed in full on pp. 118-121.</p><p>Eberstadt: Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation #4. However he doesn't distinguish between the first copies printed in 1862 and this reprint from March 1863</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Very Good. Contemporary half morocco binding marbled boards with spine in five compartments gilt lettering spine inscribed to Major Nathan. S. Brinton an Army Paymaster.</p><p><b>Nathan Sharpless Brinton</b> 1829-1914 was born in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. He married Mary D. Buckley; the two apparently had no children. Brinton was commissioned in the Union Army as a Major and Additional Paymaster on June 1 1861. On August 4 1865 he was brevetted Lieutenant Colonel and honorably mustered out in October. The Filson Historical Society has a small archive of Brinton's papers which "chiefly document the loss of $2.6 million of Union Army payroll during the sinking of the Steamer Ruth on the Mississippi River near Cairo Illinois on the night of 4 August 1863. Brinton was paymaster for the money and collected documents related to the trial held to determine his culpability in the loss. Papers include statements by witnesses proceedings of a court of inquiry a board of survey report and General Order No. 344 which found no misconduct in the loss of the funds."</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>On September 22 1862 in a Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln warned Southern states that if they did not abandon the war they would lose their slaves. As he issued the Emancipation Proclamation which took effect on January 1 1863 slavery in the United States at last approached its demise. The Emancipation Proclamation was the most important act of Lincoln's presidency. Its lines reveal the major themes of the Civil War: slavery as the central issue of the war; the courting of border states; Lincoln's hopes that the rebellious states could somehow be convinced to come back into the Union; Constitutional and popular constraints that made earlier emancipation impossible; the role of black soldiers; America's place in the world.</p><p>In addition to its moral weight the Proclamation's tangible aid to the Union cause was decisive. It deprived the Confederacy of essential labor by giving millions of slaves a reason to escape to Union lines. It encouraged the enlistment of black soldiers. It prevented Europe from supporting the Confederacy. Without the Proclamation even Union victory itself might not have been the result of the war.</p><p>Frederick Douglass speaking at The Cooper Institute in New York on February 6 1863 ably discussed the Proclamation and its effects:</p><p>"I congratulate you upon what may be called the greatest event of our nation's history if not the greatest event of the century. In the eye of the Constitution the supreme law of the land there is not now and there has not been since the 1st day of January a single slave lawfully deprived of Liberty in any of the States now recognized as in Rebellion against the National Government. In all these States Slavery is now in law as in fact a system of lawless violence against which the slave may lawfully defend himself… The change in attitude of the Government is vast and startling. For more than sixty years the Federal Government has been little better than a stupendous engine of Slavery and oppression through which Slavery has ruled us as with a rod of iron… Assuming that our Government and people will sustain the President and the Proclamation we can scarcely conceive of a more complete revolution in the position of a nation… I hail it as the doom of Slavery in all the States…. At last the out-spread wings of the American Eagle afford shelter and protection to men of all colors all countries and climes and the long oppressed black man may honorably fall or gloriously flourish under the star-spangled banner.</p><p>I stand here tonight not only as a colored man and an American but by the express decision of the Attorney-General of the United States as a colored citizen having in common with all other citizens a stake in the safety prosperity honor and glory of a common country. We are all liberated by this proclamation. Everybody is liberated. The white man is liberated the black man is liberated the brave men now fighting the battles of their country against rebels and traitors are now liberated and may strike with all their might even if they do hurt the Rebels at their most sensitive point. Applause. I congratulate you upon this amazing change—the amazing approximation toward the sacred truth of human liberty."</p> hardcover‎

‎ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GETTYSBURG ADDRESS‎

‎The Gettysburg Address – November 20 1863 Rare First Day Printing by “Lincoln’s Dog†John Forney in the Philadelphia Press‎

‎<p>"<i>The brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract…</i>"</p><p>Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is on page 2 along with Edward Everett's entire speech and a report on the ceremonies. Printed in an important newspaper owned by John Forney this version is in some ways more accurate than the more widely spread Associated Press report.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.</b>Newspaper <i>Philadelphia Press</i> Philadelphia November 20 1863. Complete 4 pp. approx. 20¼ x 28 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>John Wien Forney</b> 1817-1881 had been a Democrat whose support for President James Buchanan brought appointment as clerk of the House of Representatives and lucrative printing contracts. However after Forney lost his election bid for the U.S. Senate he started the anti-Buchanan Philadelphia <i>Press</i> and switched to the Republican Party in 1860 becoming a key Lincoln supporter. Forney again served as House clerk and then secretary of the Senate until 1868. In that position he was one of only four men to sign the official 13th Amendment Resolution: President Lincoln Vice President Hamlin Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax and Forney writing "I certify that this Resolution originated in the Senate." At the same time he maintained his editorial "Letter from Occasional" column in the <i>Press</i> and established the Washington <i>Chronicle</i> aimed at the public and to soldiers in the Army of the Potomac. He interviewed the President on issues such as freedom of the press and the probable effects of the Emancipation Proclamation and was invited to consult about cabinet appointments. His White House access caused opponents to call him "Lincoln's dog."</p><p>The night before the Gettysburg Cemetery Forney got "roaring drunk and gave a violently pro-Lincoln speech" Boritt. Given that history he probably should not have been chosen to chaperone newly-elected vice president Andrew Johnson at the March 4 1865 inauguration; Johnson was widely criticized for his drunken performance there. After Lincoln's assassination and Johnson's veto of the Freedman's Bureau Act in 1868 Forney changed positions and campaigned for impeachment. Selling the <i>Chronicle</i> and returning to Philadelphia the chameleon-like editor switched back to the Democrats and started a weekly magazine <i>The Progress</i>. In addition he served as a director of the Texas & Pacific Railway.</p><p><b>Partial Transcript:</b></p><p>"<i>Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Applause Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a general battle-field of that war; we are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. Applause The world will note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did here. Applause. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. Applause. It is rather for us here to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain. Applause That the nation shall under God have a new birth of freedom and that the Government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. Long applause. Three cheers given for the President of the United States and the Governors of the States…</i>"</p><p><b>Textual Differences</b></p><p>The speed with which printings were produced given 19th century communication issues and the lack of any official manuscript or text produced questions about Lincoln's exact words. This version includes the word "poor" in the line "<i>far above our <b>poor</b> power to add or detract.</i>" This was heard by some reporters and is present in both of Lincoln's drafts though is lost in most other contemporary printings. This version correctly quotes Lincoln's "<i>unfinished work</i>" which the AP incorrectly transcribed as "refinished work." The applause notations also differentiates the <i>Philadelphia Press</i> version from the AP report especially with the three cheers at the speech's conclusion.</p><p>Additional differences:</p><p>- The "<i>general battle-field of that war</i>" is the "great battle-field of that war" in the AP text.</p><p>- "<i>We are met to dedicate</i>" is "We have come to dedicate" in Lincoln's written copies.</p><p>- "<i>carried on</i>" is found here and in Lincoln's second draft but Lincoln used "advanced" in subsequent versions: "<i>have thus so far</i> so <i>nobly</i> carried on advanced"</p><p><b>Other Contents of the Paper</b></p><p>Page 1 starts with a column of advertising ie "<i>Cotton is not king yet.-I am selling linen sheetings at prices that are cheaper than cotton.</i>" The news begins with a report from Chattanooga: "<i>We lost 100 a fourth of whom were killed. The enemy had completely invested the place but Gen. Burnside will defend it to the last man … Our troops are in the best spirits. Every import point is fortified and confidence prevails that we shall whip the enemy out.</i>" Also reports from Charleston Atlanta Cumberland MD Harpers' Ferry VA Texas etc. A report via Baltimore on November 19th carries "most gloomy" news from Union prisoners at Richmond ending "these men must not be permitted to starve." A New York bank was rumored to have been robbed of $20000.</p><p>From Europe there's notice of a speech of Emperor Napolean III the differing interpretations as to whether it called for peace or war. There are reports of war like preparations in Russia.</p><p>An interesting notice: "<i>A slander on Mr. Lincoln refuted.-The remark said to have been ascribed to President Lincoln by Wendall Phillips to the affect that 'the greatest folly of his life was the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation' out of which such Copperhead journals as The World and The National Intelligencer are attempting to make political capital is emphatically pronounced in high quarters to be all together untrue.</i>"</p><p>Column 4 starts the extensive reporting on the National Cemetery at Gettysburg dedication including a "documentary history on the battles of July" and General Meade's letter sending his official report on the battle.</p><p>Column 5 discusses the grounds of the cemetery and starts Edward Everett's two hour oration which on page 2. Transcriptions include the prayer the dirge after the dedication the consecration speech by Charles Henry Brock and more.</p><p>Page 2 column 5 has more foreign news re Japan Britain Napoleon III's war with Mexico etc. Column 8 includes lengthy reports on battles in Tennessee and Virginia "half of Lee's army reported to be falling back to Richmond." At the bottom a <i>Boston Journal</i> description of some of Confederate firebrand Robert Toombs' slaves is republished.</p><p>Page 3 includes advertisements list of arrivals at hotels the offering of about 200 million dollars in treasury notes and the "five-twenty" six percent loan with Jay Cooke as subscription agent.</p><p>Page 4 includes a report from New York on the raising of colored troops and a notice about Professor McCulloh "who recently left a professorship in Columbia College … suddenly turned up in the south as Confederate brigadier general. He's said to be a native of Baltimore and a graduate of Princeton College. The <i>Pittsburgh Commercial</i> says that several years ago he was a professor of mathematics and natural sciences in Jefferson College Pennsylvania and was subsequently connected with the Coast Survey and the Philadelphia Mint."</p><p>More political news includes from a Western newspaper a platform "said to have been adopted by Ohio and others elsewhere since the elections: "<b>Resolved That we air in favur uv subjoogashen emansipashen confiscashen taxashen conscripshen exterminashen nigger enlistments and f there is anything else the peeple desire let em write post-pade and weel pass the necessary resolushen.</b>"</p><p>Reports from Philadelphia including police account of an attempted murder by a deserter who was passing counterfeit money a case of concealed deadly weapons and an arraignment of a women for running a "disorderly house". Plus Philadelphia financial reports "gold was much excited today and rose to 153 ½" p 4 col 3.</p><p>This is a scarce large format paper.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Some archival tape repairs on front page which we will have removed by a conservator.</p>‎
