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

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S "LAST PUBLIC ADDRESS" THE EVENING OF 11 APRIL 1865 PRINTED IN THE NEW-YORK TIMES WEDNESDAY APRIL 12 1865
New York 1865. Elephant Folio. 8pp. Each page printed in six columns. Uncut at top edge. Very Good. A contemporary hand has written in pencil at the top blank margin "His last Proclamation. Keep this Paper."<br/><br/> This was Lincoln's "Last Public Address" Abraham Lincoln Online. This issue of the Times appearing the following day is surely a candidate for its earliest printing. His Speech discloses Lincoln's most recent thoughts on Reconstruction the War having virtually ended by the surrender of Lee's Army at Appomattox Court House on April 9. Reconstruction he says is "fraught with great difficulty. We simply must begin with and mould from disorganized and discordant elements. Nor is it a small additional embarrassment that we the loyal people differ among ourselves as to the mode manner and means of reconstruction."<br/> Lincoln emphasizes his flexibility. He disclaims any intention to insist upon a single comprehensive plan. He makes clear that "the Executive claimed no right to say when or whether members should be admitted to seats in Congress" from the rebellious States. He remarks that he has never pronounced on the interesting legal question "whether the seceding States so called are in the Union or out of it." Such an issue has no practical significance. "We all agree that the seceded States so called are out of their proper relation with the Union; and that the sole object of the government civil and military in regard to those States is to again get them into that proper practical relation." Lincoln will act as circumstances require the only criterion being whether the proposed policy will expedite that "proper practical relation." It is obvious that Lincoln had he lived would have been much more successful than his dogmatic and inflexible successor at guiding Reconstruction.<br/> This issue treats many other issues arising from the War's end including the topic "What shall be done with Jeff.

Fine.<br/><br/> "A large patriotic print probably issued around the time of Abraham Lincoln's inauguration. Columbia stands before the U.S. Capitol holding a shield and a staff with a liberty cap. On her brow she wears a laurel wreath with a single star. Beside her is an eagle holding a streamer with the motto "E Pluribus Unum." A steamship is visible in the background left.

In this image a portrait of Lincoln completes an unbroken ring of portraits depicting the 15 presidents who preceded him.

PROCLAMATION OF AMNESTY. THE FOLLOWING PROCLAMATION IS APPENDED TO THE MESSAGE. PROCLAMATION caption title
N.p. perhaps Virginia 1864. 3pp. on a single folded sheet. with: OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. N.p. perhaps Harper's Ferry Va. 1864. Single sheet 3 x 7 3/4 inches. The OATH affixed to a partial manuscript ledger report recording lost military stores for an unidentified unit in 1863 which is itself glued to the verso of the last blank page of the Amnesty Proclamation. Minor toning light foxing some wrinkling. Overall very good. In a cloth chemise and green half morocco and cloth slipcase spine gilt. An exceedingly rare separate printing - perhaps by a military field press - of President Abraham Lincoln's December 1863 presidential proclamation 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. It was appended per the language in the title here to the official printing of that address but also printed separately. <br> <br> The present printing almost certainly executed in the weeks after Lincoln's State of the Union was likely hastily composed from the text of the official printing of the proclamation. The work carries no imprint information of any kind and bears the hallmarks of a military field press printing. <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 Dec. 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> The proclamation is accompanied by a partially-printed OATH OF ALLEGIANCE dated 1864 and datelined Harper's Ferry Virginia. The oath requires the taker to "solemnly swear that I will support protect and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States against all enemies." It is signed in type by Henry A. Urban Lieutenant and A.D.C. Aide-de-Camp. The oath is printed with a blank space for the name of the person taking the oath and the date. There is also a space for people who know the oath-taker and "certify on honor that we know Mr. blank to be a true and loyal man to the Federal Government." The OATH is affixed to a partial manuscript ledger report recording lost military stores for an unidentified unit in 1863 <br> <br> This printing of the Amnesty Proclamation is just as interesting as the government broadside printing or the first pamphlet printing as this edition would have also been used in the field by Union troops encountering Confederate rebels. The composition of the beginning of the seventh paragraph is consistent with the first pamphlet printing of the Amnesty Proclamation Monaghan 191 and not the broadside printing. The text here begins "Therefore I Abraham Lincoln."; in the broadside printing the "Therefore" is present at the end of the preceding paragraph. The simple and somewhat loose execution of the composition seen here is consistent with field press printings as is the lack of an imprint of any kind. Perhaps this simple production was intended for Union troops to literally hand to Confederate soldiers to read. The presence of the portion of the ledger and the Oath of Allegiance lends credence to the notion that this edition of the Amnesty Proclamation was produced for use by the military. <br> <br> This printing of the Amnesty Proclamation is not in Monaghan OCLC nor in any reference work we could find. In fact we could find no other three-page editions of the Amnesty Proclamation at all. Surely printed in small numbers to begin with it is perhaps a unique surviving example. MONAGHAN 191 ref.

RARE FIRST PRINTING OF TWO OF PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S FINAL THREE PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATIONS
Washington D.C. 1865. Broadside 13 x 8 1/4 inches. Faint dust-soiling minor edge wear with a few short marginal tears repaired on verso. Very good. A rare first broadside printing announcing two of President Lincoln's three final proclamations "Closing Certain Ports" and "Port of Key West to Remain Open" both issued on April 11 1865. President Lincoln issued these proclamations just three days before he was cut down by assassin John Wilkes Booth. Both proclamations are signed in type by Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward. <br> <br> The first proclamation "Closing Certain Ports" shut down a large number of Confederate ports all listed on the proclamation and indicates that "all rights of importation warehousing and other privileges shall in respect to the ports aforesaid cease until they have again been opened by order of the President; and if while said ports are closed any ship or vessel from beyond the United States or having on board any articles subject to duties shall attempt to enter any such port the same together with its tackle apparel furniture and cargo shall be forfeited to the United States." It was President Lincoln's 126th proclamation. <br> <br> The second proclamation "Port of Key West to Remain Open" was issued to amend the previous proclamation. It states that "the port of Key West in the state of Florida was inadvertently included among those which are not open to commerce" and declares that "said port of Key West is and shall remain open to foreign and domestic commerce." It was President Lincoln's 127th proclamation. <br> <br> These two documents constitute the antepenultimate and penultimate proclamations issued by President Lincoln; his last entitled "Claiming Equality of Rights with All Maritime Nations" was promulgated the same day. An important pair of proclamations among the last acts of the Great Emancipator before his untimely demise. unknown books

Briggs who served on the lecture committee of the Plymouth Church in Brooklyn invited presidential candidate hopeful Abraham Lincoln to speak to a New York audience on any subject of his choosing. Lincoln accepted the invitation choosing to speak of the current political climate in America. William O. Stoddard an Illinois journalist who worked for President Lincoln during his administration noted that "No previous effort of his life cost him so much hard work as did that Cooper Institute speech" and that the resulting speech "was a masterly review of the history of the slavery question from the foundation of the government with a clear bold statesmanlike presentation of the then present attitude of parties and of sections. It exhibited a careful research a thorough knowledge and understanding of political movements and developments that staggered even the most laborious and painstaking students. It showed a grasp a breadth a mental training and a depth of penetration which compelled the admiration of critical scholars" Stoddard Abraham Lincoln: The True Story of a Great Life. <br /> <br /> "Horace Greeley had rushed out the speech in pamphlet form as 'Tribune Tract' Number 4 under the headline: National Politics. Speech of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois Delivered at the Cooper Institute Monday Feb. 27 1860. The pamphlet was ready March 6 while Lincoln was still traveling through Connecticut. When he returned to New York he found it already available to the public. <br /> <br /> "Greeley marketed the eleven-page Tribune edition aggressively. As a bonus the publication included Wisconsin Republican senator James Doolittle's February 24 speech attaching 'the new doctrine of judicial infallibility' as did Lincoln's address at Cooper Union just three days later and also like Cooper Union railing agains 'the headstrong zeal pursued by the other party to force slavery into Territories'.<br /> <br /> "It was as if Republicans were now speaking with one voice: identifying with the founders attacking the Dred Scott decision rebuking John Brown and drawing their own 'dividing line' on slavery extension. Lincoln did not say it alone; but he said it best. 'Mr. Lincoln's is probably the most systematic and complete defense yet made of the Republican position with regard to Slavery' the Tribune declared in its initial advertisement for the reprints. 'We believe no speech has yet been made better calculated to win the intelligent minds over to our standard. Will the friends of the Cause everywhere aid us to circulate it'<br /> <br /> "The answer was yes. The Tribune Tract edition proved enormously popular going through at least five additional editions. Lincoln's New York oration was enjoying a new and sustained life in pamphlet form and was being purchased individually and in bulk alike by admirers and groups across the North.<br /> <br /> "The Cooper Union address tested whether Lincoln's appeal could extend from the podium to the page and from the rollicking campaigns of the rural West to the urban East. Cooper Union held the promise of transforming Lincoln from a regional phenomenon to a national figure. Lincoln knew it and rose to the occasion." Harold Holzer Lincoln at the Copper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President.<br /> <br /> New York: New York Tribune Tribune Tracts No. 4 1860. Octavo original wrappers; custom box.
