Lincoln, Abraham
The Gettysburg Address printed on the front page of the New-York Daily Tribune . Friday November 20 1863
New York 1863. 8pp. printed in six columns on a single folded sheet. Large folio. Disbound. Natural paper flaw to first leaf not affecting text of the Gettysburg Address. Cloth portfolio. 8pp. printed in six columns on a single folded sheet. Large folio. The complete issue of the New-York Tribune printing the Gettysburg Address on the morning of Nov. 20 1863 the first possible date of the speech's printing. The previous day Lincoln delivered his great address at the dedication of a cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Lincoln's speech was preceded by an address from Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day. Everett's speech took between ninety minutes and two hours to deliver and today is largely forgotten. Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes stands as a supreme distillation of American values and of the sacrifices necessary for the survival of liberty and freedom.<br /> <br /> Much controversy surrounds the circumstances and content of the address as it was actually delivered at Gettysburg. The words spoken in the speech differ in the versions appearing in newspapers and the text which appeared in Washington several days later published as The Gettysburg Solemnities and known in only four copies which is now taken as the closest version to Lincoln's final intent because of its correspondence to the known manuscript versions. Interestingly and according to Carbonell the text of the first appearance of the speech in book form published a few days later as An Oration Delivered on the Battlefield of Gettysburg is taken largely from this New York Tribune printing.<br /> <br /> As it appears here the address corresponds closely to the transcription printed in the same day's edition of the New York Times with slight variations in punctuation and capitalization "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new Nation." in the Tribune versus "Fourscore and seven years ago our Fathers brought forth on this Continent a new nation." in the Times e.g. The address is printed on the first page at the bottom of the fifth column running to the top of the sixth. Significantly it notes the five places during Lincoln's speech where applause broke out thereby providing an important historical record of the reception of the speech as it was delivered by Lincoln. It is noted that the conclusion of the speech was met with "long continued applause" and that "three cheers were here given for the President and the Governors of the States." Lincoln's speech is preceded by the opening prayer of the Rev. Thomas H. Stockton and followed by Everett's speech which occupies the rest of the sixth column and the vast majority of space on page two. War news occupies the other column space on the front page.<br /> <br /> Together with examples from other newspapers of Nov. 20 1863 this issue of the New-York Tribune represents the first appearance of any version of the Gettysburg Address in print although at some variance with the version Lincoln eventually disseminated. The exact order in which the morning editions of November 20 were printed is practically impossible to determine at this point and as Carbonell states "will almost certainly never be known." Rightfully so Carbonell includes all November 20 morning newspaper printings of the Gettysburg Address as his first entry with no priority. Suffice to say this is as early a printing of one of the foundational documents of American life as one can ever encounter.<br /> <br /> "Lincoln's speech composed on the train on the way to Gettysburg and written down according to tradition on scratch-paper and the backs of envelopes comprised ten sentences and took only a few minutes to deliver. From the first words - 'Four score and seven years ago' - to the last - 'that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth' - it is immortal one of the supreme utterances of the principles of democratic freedom" PMM.

The Life and Writings of Abraham Lincoln
New York: The Modern Library 1942. Hardcover. Edited by Philip Van Doren Stern. Introduction by Allan Nevins. 8vo. Blue cloth with gilt spine lettering. xxvi 863pp. Near fine. Faintest of faint edgewear. A tight and attractive first edition of this Modern Library Giant #20 with "First Modern Library Giant Edition 1942" clearly noted. This sharp copy also bears a fine autograph edition: Tipped among the preliminary leaves is an outstanding content Typed Letter Signed from Nevins 1p 5¼" X 8" New York NY 1956 October 21. Addressed to "Ralph" Ralph G. Newman 1912-2000 founder of Chicago's famed Abraham Lincoln Book Shop. Writing on "Columbia University" letterhead Nevins first discusses Bruce Catton's book "This Hallowed Ground: The Story of the Union Side of the Civil War." He writes: "Here we are. Bruce has written a fine book. It will delight everybody. It reads at times as if he had written in haste but I did not mention that. Some of the omissions are rather startling. But as a whole it is a superb performance." He then discusses Newman and Otto Eisenschiml's 1947 book "The American Iliad: The Epic Story of the Civil War as Narrated by Eyewitnesses and Contemporaries" an anthology that had just been rereleased by Grosset & Dunlap with a "Pictorial Chronicle" volume added by E.B. "Pete" Long. He writes "My congratulations on those two volumes of yours and Pete Long's. They are magnificent. You will have a very large sale. I agree that in time the second volume should be enlarged. It is fine as it stands but expansion would make it still finer. The whole set is a real public service." Signed simply "Allan" in blue ballpoint. The Modern Library hardcover
