Published in: Boston Daily Courier Volume LXXVIII no. 2. Friday Morning January 2 1863.<br> <br> The publication of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in the Boston Daily Courier and one of if not the first official public announcements of the Final Emancipation Proclamation once it was signed and in effect as of January 1 1863. The Proclamation is featured at the top of the center column of page 3.<br> <br> We could find no other copies of this or any other January 2nd edition at auction and it is not mentioned in Eberstadt. Eberstadt's entry for the second edition of the "Final Proclamation" Eberstadt 9 states "Second edition. Apparently the only separate newspaper edition of the final proclamation and the earliest non-official edition. Printed on Friday evening January 2 1863 this Extra in point of chronological sequence was preceded only by the first official edition." Our present copy although not a separate newspaper edition was rushed to press and published in the Friday Morning edition of the Courier placing it's publication prior to Eberstadt 9.<br> <br> According to Eberstadt "A number of newspapers did not issue on January 2nd because of the previous day's holiday but most of those that did carried the final proclamation. Many of the others printed it on January 3rd." pg. 17.<br> <br> Broadsheet folio one large leaf folded along side to make four pages two leaves printed on recto and verso. Seven-column format. 26 x 19 inches; 655 x 490 mm. Light creases down the middle in both directions. A few minor closed tears. A large old ink signature along top margin of front page causing some bleed-through and foxing but not affecting text. Still a very good copy of this important declaration.<br> <br> Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 1862 stating that if the rebelling states did not cease fighting and rejoin the Union by January 1 1863 the slaves in those states would be set free. Once January 1st 1863 arrived President Lincoln signs and issues the final Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves in the Confederate states. The Boston Courier issued this early printing of Lincoln's Proclamation the very next morning January 2 1863. "<br> <br> HBS 69186.<br> <br> $8500. Boston Daily Courier unknown‎

Even today it remains the basis of most regulations of the laws of war for the United States. The Lieber Code consists of 157 provisions that deal with a wide range of legal issues that must be considered in armed conflict. It contains general principles but also very detailed rules.

"The doctrine of habeas corpus is the right of any person under arrest to appear in person before the court to ensure that they have not been falsely accused.

‎LINCOLN, ABRAHAM‎

‎Important Autograph Letter Signed to Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas May 27 1861 with Bunting From Lincoln's Box At Ford's Theatre‎

‎<br />One page. Beautifully presented in a spectacular 19th-century carved wood frame with surmounted eagle. <br />Abraham Lincoln writing at the outset of the Civil War recommends that the Army admit three volunteers from the highly divided city of Baltimore. He advises Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas "I hate to reject any volunteers offered from what is called a Southern State."<br />Maryland's Southern sympathies were of paramount concern to Lincoln. On February 23 1861 learning of a rumored assassination plot president-elect Lincoln passed through Baltimore in secrecy to reach Washington. On April 19 1861 just a week after the surrender of Fort Sumter a mob killed four soldiers and wounded thirty-six more when the 6th Massachusetts Infantry passed through Baltimore en route to Washington. A week later Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus to maintain control in the state. Maryland's governor had ordered the militia to burn railroad bridges north of the city to prevent more federal troops from coming through the city. Finally on May 13 federal troops occupied the city quelling pro-Confederate unrest.<br /> In this fine letter written just days later Lincoln asks Adjutant General Lorenzo Thomas "The three gentlemen who will hand you this note belong to an Artillery Company at Baltimore who wish to get into the United States service. Please give them an interview; and after they explain their case if you advise it I will receive them. I hate to reject any offered from what is called a Southern State."<br />This outstanding letter from the earliest days of the Civil War reflects Lincoln's intense desire to keep the people of Baltimore Maryland and the neighboring border states in the Union and to bring in new recruits wherever he could find them.<br />Important Lincoln letters relating to his concern about Baltimore and Maryland in the early days of his presidency are of great rarity.<br />OFFERED WITH:<br />Silk U.S. Flag Bunting from the Presidential Box at Ford's Theatre the Night of the Assassination. Ford's Theatre April 14 1865.<br />Section of an American flag in two pieces upper half 6 1â„2 x 8 1â„4 in. lower half 6 1â„4 x 7 1â„2 in. Horizontal separations light loss and fraying some stains. Oriented vertically. Handsomely framed.<br />This is a section of the bunting from the presidential box at Ford's Theatre where Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth on April 14 1865. Harry C. Ford manager of stage shows at Ford's Theatre preserved the bunting and a few weeks later gave this section to John A. Ellinger see Provenance.<br />The bunting has an impeccable provenance. It came into the possession of Oliver R. Barrett perhaps the greatest of all Lincoln collectors and it was sold at his Parke Bernet auction in 1952. Elsie O. and Philip D. Sang the leading Lincoln and Civil War collectors of the second half of the century then acquired it. The bunting was sold in 1981 at the fifth Sang sale and has since been owned by two other leading Lincoln collectors Dr. John K. Lattimer and Dr. Blaine Houmes.<br />"The term 'draped" used by Ellinger who received the bunting from Ford would seem to indicate that this piece was from one of the two flags draped on the presidential-box balustrades and not mounted on a pole. … Known Provenance: Oliver R. Barrett Lincoln Collection … It is not known where the item is today" "The Oliver R. Barrett artifact" in Smyth & Garrett The Lincoln Assassination: The Flags of Ford's Theatre p. 70.
This is an evocative relic from a sacred place in American memory and one of the most momentous events in American history.<br />Please inquire for more details.‎

‎Inaugural Address of the President of the United States‎

‎Washington D.C.: Government Printing Office 1861. Special Session Senate Ex. Doc. No. 1. 10pp. 8vo. Disbound. Housed in a cloth box. Special Session Senate Ex. Doc. No. 1. 10pp. 8vo. Lincoln began drafting his first inaugural in Springfield soon after his election hoping the speech would impart a spirit of reconciliation toward the seceded states. His speech balances his pledge to protect Federal property in the south while insisting that he would not use military force unless attacked first. In all he eloquently argues against secession presenting the United States as undissolvable. Lincoln ends his speech with the memorable lines: "We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battle-field and patriot grave to every living heart and hearth-stone all over this broad land will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature."<br /> <br /> "Lincoln became President on March 4 1861. Before being sworn in he gave his First Inaugural Address devoting it entirely to the secession crisis. It was the linguistic equivalent of an optical illusion: one could view it two ways. As historians have noted he seemed to placate the South; he would not 'interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists.' This language was the old Lincoln . The new Lincoln was a resolute executive who had no choice but to enforce the Constitution a contract that does not allow states to withdraw from it unilaterally. In his enforcement there would be no bloodshed 'unless it be forced upon the national authority" Mazy Boroujerdi editor Abraham Lincoln: His Life in Print p. 108.<br /> <br /> Lincoln had begun writing his inaugural the month prior before leaving Springfield and once in Washington asked William Seward to review the draft. It was Seward who suggested softening the tone so as not to appear too inflammatory suggesting "a nostalgic call for unity emphasizing the country's shared history. Lincoln embraced the idea but massaged it into near poetry. Seward's prosaic text ended up as Lincoln's oft quoted appeals to the 'mystic chords of memory' and 'the better angels of our nature.' The words did nothing to reverse disunion" Ibid. p. 97.<br /> <br /> This is the official government printing of Lincoln's first inaugural address issued as a document of a special session of the Senate printed by their order four days after its delivery being only the second printing overall of the memorable speech.
