AMNESTY PROCLAMATION AND THIRD ANNUAL MESSAGE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES READ IN CONGRESS WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 9 1863
Washington 1863. 20pp. Original printed wrappers. Light toning. A near fine copy in wonderful condition. In a cloth chemise and green half morocco and cloth slipcase spine gilt. The rare pamphlet printing of Lincoln's December 8 1863 proclamation read before Congress the next day offering amnesty to citizens of the Confederacy providing they take an oath that they "will abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of the President made during the existing rebellion having reference to slaves" i.e. the Emancipation Proclamation. When the number of persons in any state taking the oath reached ten percent of the number of voters in 1860 this group of loyal voters could form a state government that could be recognized by the President. The Amnesty Proclamation was issued with President Lincoln's third Annual Message to Congress i.e. State of the Union Address on December 8 1863; the State of the Union Address follows the Amnesty Proclamation here. <br> <br> Toward the close of 1863 with the Confederate Army in full retreat discussions in Congress centered on how to restore the southern states to the Union. "The crisis which threatened to divide the friends of the Union is past" announced Lincoln. Now it was the duty of Congress to ensure that all citizens in the South regardless of race were guaranteed the equal protection of the law. A number of competing proposals emerged from deliberations but in the end during his message to Congress on December 8 1863 Lincoln declared reconstruction of the South a wholly executive responsibility and "offered 'full pardon.with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves' to all rebels who would take an oath of future loyalty to the Constitution and pledge to obey acts of Congress and presidential proclamations relating to slavery" Donald p.471. <br> <br> Those excluded from taking the oath were the highest ranking members of the Confederacy - government officials judges military and naval officers above the rank of army colonel or navy lieutenant former congressmen and "all who have engaged in treating colored persons or white persons otherwise than lawfully as prisoners of war." Lincoln further encouraged the southern states to make provisions "in relation to the freed people of such State which shall recognize and declare their permanent freedom provide for their education and which may yet be consistent as a temporary arrangement with their present condition as a laboring landless and homeless class." <br> <br> "Lincoln indicated that this was only one plan for reconstructing the rebel South and while it was the best he could think of for now he would gladly consider others and possibly adopt them. He might even modify his own classes of pardons if that seemed warrantable.Afterward almost everybody but die-hard Democrats seemed happy with the plan" Oates p.371. <br> <br> A lovely copy of Lincoln's hugely important Amnesty Proclamation.

LINCOLN Abraham
Autograph Endoresment Signed "A. Lincoln"
in black ink as President Washington D.C. December 23 1863. Six lines plus signature and date on verso of the integral blank of an Autograph Letter Signed from General John M. Schofield Washington D.C. December 23 1863. Octavo. 2 pages. Fine fresh example dark and clean. In his letter Schofield addresses his commander in chief deferentially: "Mr. President I desire simply to ask you if I may be absent from Washington a few days pending the settlement of my affairs I wish to spend Christmas day with my relatives at West Point. If there is any reason for my remaining here of course I do not wish to go." On verso Lincoln writes: "Not the slightest objection to Gen. Schofield's visiting West Point so that he be in call by Telegraph." This letter serves as an interesting footnote to the long-simmering problem in Missouri where Schofield had been in command. A slave state Missouri had seethed with pro and anti-slavery conflicts and was terrorized by armed bands of southern sympathizers. Schofield and the provisional governor had engaged in bitter jurisdictional quarrels until all factions finally united to criticize Schofield for his "high-handed" administration and demand his removal. In early December 1863 a congressman who had visited Missouri told Lincoln first hand of Schofield's increasing difficulties prompting the President on December 11 to telegraph a simple order to Schofield: "Please come see me at once." After his White House interview Lincoln recommended that Schofield be promoted to major general transferred and Rosecrans appointed to take his place. Lincoln's recommendation was quickly approved by the Senate. Schofield 1831-1906 Graduated West Point 1853. In Missouri at the outbreak of the Civil War he became chief of staff to Gen. Nathaniel Lyon and served until Lyon’s death at the battle of Wilson's Creek August 1861. Promoted brigadier-general of volunteers in November he was engaged in field operations in Missouri and later commanded the Department of the Missouri as major-general. Assuming command of XXIII Corps in February 1864 he took part in Sherman's Atlanta campaign as one of the three army commanders and badly shattered Hool's confederate force at the fierce battle of Franlklin Tenn. Moving the XXIII Corps to the mouth of the Cape Fear river He occupied Wilmington N.C. and effected a junction with Sherman at Goldsboro March 23 1865 for the final moves against Gen. J.E. Johnston. In the spring of 1868 served briefly as U.S. secretary of war. Promoted major-general regular army 1869 he commanded several departments successively and made the recommendations that led to the acquisition of Pearl Harbor Hawaii as a naval base. Superintendent at West Point 1876-81. Lincoln 1809-65 16th President of the United States 1861-65 and one of the most important figures in American history. Signed by Authors. F.

LINCOLN Abraham
Autograph Endorsement 22 words Signed
1863. "A. Lincoln" in black ink Washington DC May 12 1863 being 7 lines on the verso of the second leaf of an autograph letter to Lincoln from Robert Chester Buffalo May 9 1863 2 pages; 7 7/8" x 12 3/4" on a bifolium of blue-ruled paper neatly reinforced at folds. Lincoln deals with an officer seeking "An Honorable Discharge & to Avoid a Dishonorable One." Robert Chester who identifies himself as "late Capt. 17th Infantry US Army" petitions the President: "I would most respectfully request a suspension of Special Orders No. 201 Extract 4 by which I am dismissed the service of the United States. The reasons for such request are that my case has not been properly submitted to Your Excellency. I would respectfully ask that the order my be suspended until a Court of Inquiry or Court Martial; can be convened when I may have the opportunity to defend myself." Chester's appeal is joined by ten other prominent citizens of Buffalo including her postmaster one the justices of the city's Superior Court and three Union officers hailing from the Bison City. Lincoln forwarded Chester's petition to Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt directing him to "please examine & report on this case. The officer only seeks an honorable discharge & to avoid a dishonorable one." Nothing further on the case is recorded and Holt - influenced perhaps by the President's none-too-subtle insinuation - evidently found no merit to Chester's claim.

LINCOLN Abraham
Autograph Letter Signed
1863. "A. Lincoln" in black ink on Executive Mansion Washington letterhead March 18 1863. 5" x 8" 1 page with integral leaf. Very good. Integral blank with an autograph endorsement signed by Holt and clerical endorsement from the Adjutant General's office. To Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt: Lincoln requests his Judge Advocate General to investigate the "Strong Mitigating Circumstances" surrounding the court-martial of a member of the West Point Class of 1861. "It is said Lieut. John Benson Williams of the 3rd regular infantry as been sentenced by a Military Commission to be dismissed the service. I have some reason to believe there are strong mitigating circumstances in his case which the Commission perhaps did not deem competent for them to consider I will thank you to procure the record examine it and report it to me. . ." Holt forwarded Lincoln's letter to the Adjutant General noting that "No record or report in regard to the Williams case has been received at this office." The letter was returned to Holt accompanied by the record of William's court-martial and docketed "Please see papers within." After studying the record Holt made a lengthy report to Secretary of War Stanton March 30 1863 which survives in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. Holt dismissed the "mitigating circumstances" referenced by Lincoln - Williams's supposedly "severe sickness" - and concluded that "It is evident that Lieut. Williams left his command on the battlefield and returned to Washington without leave and in known violation of orders and of his duty. . . .He has shown himself disqualified for the profession of arms." On April 8th Stanton in turn forwarded Holt's deposition to the President "as requested by his note on the 18th Ulto" that is the present letter. Lincoln ended the matter with his own terse endorsement on April 11th: "I decline to interfere in Behalf of Lieut. Williams" Basler 4:169. Although referred to in Basler's note regarding Lincoln's endorsement the present letter does not appear in "The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln". Signed by Authors. No Binding. Very Good/No Jacket. unknown books

After that date they will be arrested as "deserters and punished as the law provides." Pages 2-3 lists 36 places where they can report.

First Philadelphia Printing of the Gettysburg Address
Abraham Lincoln. "The Gettysburg Address" contained in "Report of the Select Committee Relative to the Soldiers' National Cemetery Together with the Accompanying Documents as reported to the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania March 31 1864." Harrisburg: Singerly & Myers State Printers 1864. Lincoln's famous speech was originally delivered at the Dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg; this early volume following shortly after that dedication records the events of the day details of the cemetery and the soldiers interred there and the original text of the Gettysburg Address. <br/><br/>The Gettysburg Address is a speech that U.S. President Abraham Lincoln delivered during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday November 19 1863 four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. It is one of the best-known speeches in American history. This is the first Pennsylvania printing of the Address. It occupies the second unnumbered page of this volume on the recent consecration of the Soldier's National Cemetary near the end. Included also in the Report is material on the creation of the cemetery with statistical data names of the soldiers buried there and the program at the dedicatory ceremonies including the benedictions and the oration of the featured speaker Edward Everett. Wills's study of the Address discusses its textual variations and the surprising difficulty in determining precisely what Lincoln said. As printed here it tracks what Wills has identified as the likely text spoken by Lincoln; but differs in several respects from the 'final version' for example the omission of 'poor' in 'our poor power to add or detract.' In fair condition. Foxed frequent margin spotting. Original cloth worn at spine and extremities of boards with cardboard below cloth revealed. One full-page map of the battlefield and hospitals; one folding map of the cemetery grounds. unknown books

Those who did not would have their citizenship revoked and were subject to court-martial with penalties as severe as death.

Various individuals were put in nomination and the vote resulted as follows:. FIRST BALLOT Seward - 173 1/2 Lincoln - 102. . .Not having effected a choice another and the final ballot was taken when Abraham Lincoln of Illinois received 2311/2 votes or within 11/2 of the nomination. Mr. Andrews of Mass. rose and corrected Massachusetts by changing four votes and giving them to Lincoln thus nominating Lincoln by 21/2 majority."

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.

OBSEQUIES OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. ORDER OF FUNERAL PROCESSION caption title
N.p. but almost certainly Springfield Il 1865. Broadside 12 x 9 inches. Printed in three columns edged with a printed black border. Old folds center vertical fold with some separation. Moderate staining. Still very good. Framed. Likely a proof copy of the exceedingly rare broadside announcing the funeral procession for President Abraham Lincoln in Springfield in early May 1865. Struck down by assassin John Wilkes Booth on April 15 1865 Lincoln's body lay in state in the White House on April 18 and a ceremonial funeral service took place in Washington D.C. around noon on April 19. Two days later President Lincoln's casket was loaded on a funeral train headed for Springfield Illinois stopping at Baltimore Harrisburg Philadelphia New York City Albany Buffalo Cleveland Columbus Indianapolis Michigan City and Chicago before arriving in Lincoln's adopted hometown early on the morning of May 3. At this time Springfield's population numbered around 15000 but Lincoln's funeral train pulled into a town swollen with over 100000 visiting mourners. Immediately upon arrival Lincoln's coffin was transferred by hearse to Representatives' Hall inside the Illinois Old State Capitol. For the next twenty-four hours from about ten o'clock in the morning on May 3 to the same time the next day about 75000 mourners were allowed to pass by the open coffin of the slain president to pay last respects. <br> <br> According to the present broadside President Lincoln's funeral procession left the Old State Capitol "on Thursday the 4th Inst. at 10 o'clock a.m. precisely." The funeral party of over 10000 people then turned right on 7th Street to pass by the Lincoln family home and then right up Cook Street to proceed past the Governor's Mansion before heading north to Oak Ridge Cemetery. <br> <br> This broadside printing of the order of the procession for Lincoln's Springfield funeral was probably printed the afternoon of May 3 or possibly even the morning of May 4 the day of the funeral. Surrounded by a heavy black band the broadside lists all the persons and units involved in the procession along with their places and the rules for the day. The entire procession was divided into eight divisions with Gen. Joseph Hooker acting as Marshal in Chief. The first three divisions of the military escort represented all the elements of the Army and Navy. After them came the attending clergy and Lincoln's attending physicians. Next was the casket itself the only wheeled vehicle in the procession with the pall bearers to each side followed by Lincoln's horse and then the immediate family. Three more military divisions followed interspersed with government officials ambassadors and state officials followed by delegations from Springfield and other Illinois towns. Next were representatives of various organizations delegations from colleges lawyers doctors and the press Masons Odd Fellows and firemen all interspersed with two more military divisions. The final segment of the funeral procession was designated for "Citizens at large" and "Colored Persons." <br> <br> The broadside gives directions for locations for the forming up of each group. Only marshals were allowed to be on horseback; all others walked. Bands were under the direction of the Committee on Music. Other particular directions follow including regulations for the colors of the various scarves worn by the marshals. The text of the document ends with directions to keep the streets through which the procession passes "clear from sidewalk to sidewalk." <br> <br> This broadside must have been widely distributed to assist the mourners in Springfield but like all such ephemeral pieces few copies have survived. OCLC locates only six at Indiana University the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Library the Boston Athenaeum the Chapin Library at Williams College the John Hay Library at Brown University and the Library Company of Philadelphia. The latter location also attributes the place of printing to Springfield. There is also a copy at the Library of Congress and a copy formerly owned by noted collector James Copley and previously sold by this firm. <br> <br> The present copy is likely an early printer's proof of the broadside as it lacks the first three letters of the word "FUNERAL" in the title. The Library of Congress copy is also likely a proof with its variant title omitting the words "ORDER OF." Both copies also lack the letter "e" in "Order" in the first sentence of text. These errors speak to the haste and stress under which this broadside was surely produced perhaps the day before or the very morning of the day when America's greatest president the Savior of the Union and Illinois' favorite son was laid to rest in a city teeming with seven times its own population in attendance. <br> <br> A remarkable and moving document reflecting a moment of national grief perhaps only approached by the John F. Kennedy funeral and memorializing the day when America's first assassinated president was solemnly committed to the earth. OCLC 5023077 79462381. unknown books
