ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISM
Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism - Stirring Fear of Interracial Marriage Before 1864 Presidential Election
<p>The second in a series of four racist political cartoons published in 1864 by Bromley & Company which was closely affiliated with the Copperhead New York <i>World</i> newspaper. These prints sought to undermine Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection by branding him as a "miscegenationist" and playing on white fears of "race-mixing." The cartoon scene pictures several interracial couples enjoying a day at the park eating ice cream discussing wedding plans and a woman's upcoming lecture. Two African American families have white employees a carriage driver and footmen and a babysitter.</p><p>The only other example traced at auction brought $7800 in 2010.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. RACISM.</b>Print. "Miscegenation or the Millennium of Abolitionism." Political Cartoon. New York: Bromley & Co. 1864. 1 p. 20¾ x 13â… in.<p><br /></p><p>American politics had long played on fears of sexual relationships between races. A powerful new word for "race-mixing" was coined in an anonymous December 1863 pamphlet entitled <i>Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races Applied to the American White Man and Negro</i> published in New York. Purporting to advocate the virtues of the "blending of the white and black races on this continent" it was a literary forgery prepared by <i>The World</i> managing editor David Goodman Croly and reporter George Wakeman. The authors were unsuccessful in their attempt to trick President Lincoln into endorsing the work.</p><p>At the far left of the image Abraham Lincoln declares "<i>I shall be proud to number among my intimate friends any member of the Squash family especially the little Squashes.</i>" The African American woman to whom he is speaking replies "<i>I'se 'quainted wid Missus Linkum I is washed far her 'fore de hebenly Miscegenation times was cum. Dont do nuffin now but gallevant 'round wid de white gem'men! he-ah! he-ah! he-ah!</i>"</p><p>Senator Charles Sumner says "<i>Mr. President! Allow me the honor of introducing my very dear friend Miss Dinah Arabella Aramintha Squash.</i>" A white carriage driver complains in the background "<i>Gla-a-ang there 240t! White driver white footmen niggers inside my heys! I wanted a situation when I took this one</i>" while a black man in the carriage tells his companion "<i>Phillis de_ah dars Sumner. We must not cut him if he is walking.</i>" A black woman at a table tells a white man with her "<i>Ah! Horace its-its-its-bully 'specially de cream</i>" and he replies "<i>Ah! my dear Miss Snowball we have at last reached our political and social Paradise. Isn't it extatic</i>"</p><p>To the right are two couples embracing each a white woman and an African American man. The first white women tells her partner "<i>Oh! You dear creature. I am so agitated! Go and ask Pa</i>" to which he replies "<i>Lubly Julia Anna name de day when Brodder Beecher shall make us one!</i>" The second white woman says "<i>Adolphus now you'll be sure to come to my lecture to morrow night won't you</i>" to which he answers "<i>I'll be there Honey on de front seat sure!</i>" In the background are various immigrant minorities viewing the scene. One exclaims "<i>Most hextwadinary! Aw neva witnessed the like in all me life if I did dem me!</i>" and another adds "<i>Mine Got vat a guntry vat a beebles!</i>" An Irish girl complains "<i>And is it to drag nagur babies that I left old Ireland Bad luck to me.</i>"</p><p>Manton Marble the editor of <i>The World</i> collaborated with printmaker Bromley & Company to issue a series of four anti-Lincoln "Political Caricatures." The present example was the No. 2 in that series. No. 1 was "The Grave of the Union or Major Jack Downing's Dream"; No. 3 "The Abolition Catastrophe Or the November Smash-up"; and No. 4 "The Miscegenation Ball."</p><p>Republicans responded by trying to turn the "miscegenation" charge against the Democrats. A Republican print "The Political "Siamese" Twins: The Offspring of Chicago Miscegenation" pictures McClellan and Pendleton joined together despite their very different ideas on ending the war.</p><p>Although Abraham Lincoln won New York states' electoral votes in 1860 Stephen Douglas had carried New York City and its environs. Financial elites fearing that civil war would ruin business and recent immigrants fearing competition with free black labor supported Douglas. Lincoln's unpopularity in New York City during the Civil War was a factor in the deadly 1863 Draft Riots.</p><p>In 1864 Lincoln again won the states' electoral votes while New York City favored his Democratic opponent McClellan. In fact Lincoln's majority dropped from 50136 votes in 1860 to only 7373 votes in 1864 with approximately 50000 more total votes cast than in 1860.</p><p>Bromley and Company continued to sell the caricatures after the election as this January 1865 advertisement from an Ohio newspaper makes clear. Another advertisement assured purchasers that the set of four prints available for $1 were "sent on wooden rollers to insure safe carriage."</p><p><b><i>The World</i></b> 1860-1931 a daily independent newspaper was published in New York City. Alexander Cummings founded it as a religious Republican outlet in 1860. August Belmont and others purchased it in 1862 changing the editorial focus. With editor Manton Marble 1834-1917 <i>The World</i> soon became the country's leading Democratic newspaper. In 1864 Union authorities shut down <i>The World</i>and another paper for three days after they published forged documents purportedly written by Lincoln that were really part of a hoax to manipulate the price of gold. The paper actively supported George B. McClellan against Lincoln in 1864.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Fine for exhibit despite flaws. Cropped with loss of "Political Caricature No. 2" from top edge and part of printed pricing information from bottom edge publisher's name rubbed out from the copyright statement lacking ½" from lower left corners a few short tape repairs by the edges a 2" closed tear through the second dialogue bubble along the top edge and a 3" closed tear parallel to the right edge.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN. EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION
A Copperhead Newspaper Prints Then Criticizes the Emancipation Proclamation
New York N.Y. 1863. No binding. Fine. New York Journal of Commerce. Newspaper. New York Journal of Commerce. New York N.Y. January 3 1863. 4 pp. 24 x 32 1/2 in. An early report of the Emancipation Proclamation where the editors describe Lincoln's bold move as ""a farce coming in after a long tragedy.Most of the people regard it as a very foolish piece of business."" Historical BackgroundThe Emancipation Proclamation was the single most important act of Lincoln's presidency. Its text reveals the major themes of the Civil War: the importance of slavery to the war effort on both sides; the courting of border states; Lincoln's hopes that the rebellious states could somehow be convinced to reenter the Union; the role of black soldiers; Constitutional and popular constraints on emancipation; the place of African Americans in the United States and America's place in a worldwide movement toward the abolition of slavery. In sounding the death knell for slavery and the ""Slave power"" the President took a decisive stand on the most contentious issue in American history and the United States joined other western nations in embracing a future of free labor.In addition to the moral impact of this ""sincerely believed.act of justice"" the Proclamation aided the Union cause tangibly and decisively. Because it focused on territory still held by the Confederacy only small numbers of slaves compared to the total slave population were immediately freed. However the Proclamation deprived the South of essential labor by giving all slaves a reason to escape to Union lines. Failing that it freed slaves immediately upon the Union Army's occupation of Confederate territory. The Proclamation also encouraged the enlistment of black soldiers who made a crucial contribution to the Union war effort. Moreover England and France who had already abolished slavery were restrained from supporting the Confederacy which would have been in their own economic interests. Lincoln summed up the Proclamation's importance in 1864: ""no human power can subdue this rebellion without using the Emancipation lever as I have done.""Nonetheless the editors of the Journal of Commerce disagreed and their opinion reflects the truly controversial nature of the act for many contemporary Americans. books

Disbound quarto; 15 x 23 cm; xii 56 pages; worn and soiled; blindstamp of Chicago Theological Seminary on title page.<br /><i>Seder Mitzvot Nashim</i> The Order of Women's Precepts by Benjamin Aaron ben Abraham Slonik of Grodno c. 1550–c. 1619 translated into Italian by Jacob ben Elhanan Heilbronn in 1614; this copy printed in Venice 1710. <br /><br />A practical and fairly sympathetic guide to women's ritual obligation first published in Yiddish in Cracow 1577 in Italian in Padua 1616.

De Moivre Abraham
The Doctrine of Chances: or a Method of Calculating the Probability of Events in Play
London: W. Pearson 1718. First edition. Very Good. Small folio 240 x 200 mm. Collates 4 xiv 175 1 blank: complete with an engraved vignette on title-page numerous engraved head and tail pieces and initials and an engraved vignette headpiece on page 1. With a dedication to Sir Isaac Newton. Contemporary speckled calf rebacked to style. Boards double-ruled in gilt. Spine with a red morocco label lettered and ruled in gilt. All edges speckled brown. Some minor soiling to final two pages. Some light toning from glue on endpaper edges. Previous owner's armorial bookplate on front pastedown. Overall a very good copy. <br/><br/>Abraham De Moivre was a mathematician and a close friend of Sir Isaac Newton to whom he dedicated the first edition of this work. "His work on the theory of probability surpasses anything done by any other mathematician except Laplace" Cajori. "De Moivre's representation of the solutions of the then current problems of games of chance tended to be more general than those of Montmort. In addition he developed a series of algebraic and analytic tools for the theory of probability like a 'new algebra' for the solution of the problem of coincidences which foreshadowed Boolean algebra the method of generating functions or the theory of recurrent series for the solution of differential equations. In the Doctrine de Moivre offered an introduction which contains the main concepts such as probability condition probability expectation dependent and independent events the multiplication rule and the binomial distribution" DNB.

Lincoln Abraham and Stephen A. Douglas
Political Debates between Hon. Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Douglas in the Celebrated Campaign of 1858
Columbus: Follett Foster and Company 1860. First edition. Original publisher's cloth binding with some rubbing to spine and extremities. First issue with all points as called for by Monaghan no line over the publisher's slug on title verso and the number 2 at the foot of page 17. Collates viii 268 pages: lacking front endpaper else complete. Some light scattered foxing as is common in American imprints of this era but in all a tight pleasing copy of this book documenting an important moment in American politics.<br/><br/>Documenting Lincoln and Douglas' rivalry for the 1858 U.S. Senate race this title captures an important moment of flux for American politics. Just beginning his political career the young Lincoln earned the Republican nomination right as the party was forming; and he already had proven himself "a leading figure because of his adroit and earnest dealing with the problem of slavery" Oxford Companion. One of his great strenghts was his eloquence -- something Lincoln put on full display in these debates against Douglas including the utterance of one of his most memorable lines that "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Though Lincoln lost the Senate in 1858 he had managed to develop a national reputation and in 1860 the year of this book's release would win the Presidency.<br/><br/>Monaghan 69.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Illustrator Frank Leslie Publishes Fanciful Grand Reception of Civil War Notables as a Subscription Premium
<p>Frank Leslie published this print as a premium for his new family magazine <i>Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner</i> and copyrighted it on April 8 1865 just a week before Lincoln's death. The image created by engraver Henry B. Major and lithographer Joseph Knapp portrays Lincoln flanked by the First Lady and Vice President Andrew Johnson greeting Julia Dent Grant wife of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who stands nearby.</p><p>According to a notice printed at the bottom right corner "<i>Every Person who pays Ten Cents each for numbers 1 and 2 of Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner The New Family Paper is entitled to a copy of this PLATE without extra charge</i>" or individuals could purchase the print for $3.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Lithograph. "Grand Reception of the Notabilities of the Nation at the White House 1865" New York: Frank Leslie April 1865. 1 p. 19 x 23¾ in.<p><br /></p><p>In the first issue of <i>The Chimney Corner</i> Leslie described the "Grand Reception" image as "the most costly gift plate ever presented by any publisher in the United States having been produced at an expense of $10000."</p><p>"Every family should possess this truly national picture and carefully preserve it" Leslie continued "as it will transmit to future generations the men who have restored our great national unity. It is especially valuable as it contains an excellent likeness of our late lamented President introducing General Grant and his wife to Mrs. Lincoln." The picture contains "nearly 100 portraits of our most celebrated Generals Statesmen and Civilians also of many of our most distinguished American ladies. The likenesses are admirable having been taken from photographs by Brady."</p><p>The key giving the names of each individual portrait was published in issue number 4 of the <i>Chimney Corner</i> on June 24.</p><p>Included in the image are Generals Ulysses S. Grant John G. Foster William T. Sherman Hugh J. Kilpatrick Nathaniel P. Banks Philip H. Sheridan Winfield S. Hancock John A. Logan Joseph Hooker Benjamin F. Butler Oliver O. Howard John A. Dix and Henry W. Slocum. Admirals David Farragut and David Dixon Porter represent the Navy. Members of the cabinet include Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton Secretary of State William H. Seward and Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. Members of Congress include Senator Henry B. Anthony of Rhode Island Senator William P. Fessenden of Maine Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts and Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase represents the U.S. Supreme Court. New York newspaper editors Horace Greeley Henry J. Raymond and James Gordon Bennett are also present. Prominent women include First Lady Mary Lincoln Ann S. Stephens dime novelist and magazine editor Miriam Folline Squier wife of Leslie's former editor-in-chief and Leslie's future wife Julia Dent Grant wife of Ulysses S. Grant Kate Chase Sprague daughter of Chief Justice and wife of Rhode Island Senator and Adele Cutts Douglas widow of Stephen A. Douglas. Others identified in the key include Ephraim G. Squier Leslie's former editor-in-chief archaeologist and U.S. commissioner to Peru Governor Andrew G. Curtin of Pennsylvania and Ambassador to Russia Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky.</p><p>Despite Leslie's copyright Anton Hohenstein created a very similar image entitled "Lincoln's Last Reception" which also featured Lincoln's meeting General Ulysses S. Grant's wife Julia. Published by John Smith in Philadelphia in 1865 and hand-colored "Lincoln's Last Reception" also included more than thirty military and political leaders and a few prominent women among the onlookers in the ballroom.</p><p><b><i>Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner</i></b> 1865-1884 was a weekly family newspaper published "every Tuesday" in New York by Frank Leslie. Each illustrated issue of sixteen pages contained serial fiction short stories poetry biographies history travel sketches natural history anecdotes and other subjects. According to the prospectus the newspaper would be "a welcome messenger of instruction and amusement to the young and old in the family and by the fireside—that altar around which cluster our holiest and most cherished recollections." Leslie had copyrighted the title in 1861 but "the great Rebellion now happily closing intervened to put a stop to the enterprise."</p><p><b>Frank Leslie</b> 1821-1880 was born in England as Henry Carter but he adopted the pseudonym of Frank Leslie to keep his artistic activities a secret from his relatives who disapproved. He came to the United States in 1848 and settled in New York in 1853 to engrave woodcuts for P. T. Barnum's <i>Illustrated News</i>. When that publication failed Leslie began work on his own series of illustrated publications including <i>Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper</i> <i>The Budget of Fun</i> <i>Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner</i> and others. At his death he was deeply in debt but his second wife Miriam Folline Squier 1836-1914 continued his publications and again made them profitable even legally changing her name to Frank Leslie in 1881.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Spot-mounted to modern board mat toning moderate foxing minor edge wear.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Broadsheet of Lincoln's 1862 State of the Union Message
<p>"<i>We cannot escape history… In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free… We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.</i>"</p><p>One month before signing the Emancipation Proclamation the president proposes colonization and his plan for compensated emancipation discusses foreign affairs reports on progress of the Pacific Railroad the war and finance. This rare "<i>Sentinel Extra</i>" broadsheet apparently unrecorded in OCLC has other news of the day on the verso including a fantastic article quoting General Meagher's reaction to the resignation of several officers after McClellan was removed.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Broadsheet <i>"Sentinel Extra"</i> place unknown ca. December 2 1862 9⅛ x 24 in. 2 pp.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt:</b></p><p>"<i>The suspension of specie payments by the banks… made large issues of United States notes unavoidable. In no other way could the payment of the troops and the satisfaction of other just demands be so economically or so well provided for… A return to specie payments however at the earliest period … should ever be kept in view. Fluctuations in the value of currency are always injurious… Convertibility prompt and certain convertibility into coin is generally acknowledged to be the best and surest safeguard against them; and it is extremely doubtful whether a circulation of United States notes payable in coin and sufficiently large for the wants of the people can be permanently usefully and safely maintained…</i></p><p><i>There is no line straight or crooked suitable for a national boundary upon which to divide…Among the friends of the Union there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery and the African race amongst us… emancipation will be unsatisfactory to the advocates of perpetual slavery but the length of time 37 years in Lincoln's compensated emancipation proposal should greatly mitigate their dissatisfaction. The time spares both races from the evils of sudden derangement… while most of those whose habitual course of thought will be disturbed by the measure will have passed away before its consummation. They will never see it. Another class will hail the prospect of emancipation but will deprecate the length of time. They will feel that it gives too little to the now living slaves. But it really gives them much. It saves them from the vagrant destitution which must largely attend immediate emancipation in localities where their numbers are very great and it gives the inspiring assurance that their posterity shall be free forever… Let us ascertain the sum we have expended in the war since compensated emancipation was proposed last March and consider whether if that measure had been promptly accepted by even some of the slave States the same sum would not have done more to close the war than has been otherwise done…</i></p><p><i><b>Fellow-citizens we cannot escape history.</b> We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. <b>The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We—even we here—hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.</b></i>"</p><p><b>Additional Content Below Lincoln's State of the Union</b></p><p>Three news items cover the bottom half of the third column verso.</p><p>The first discusses the three top western cities as grain shippers Chicago Milwaukee and Toledo. The numerical measurements of the grain are counted in bushels. Chicago tallied a total export of <i>Wheat Corn Oats Rye and Barely</i> which amounted to <i>55526816</i> bushels. Milwaukee totaled <i>14869625</i> bushels. Toledo totaled <i>18667817</i> bushels.</p><p>The second re-prints news from <i>Liverpool Journal of Commerce</i> published on November 11th regarding the British government's adherence to neutrality policies.</p><p>The third reports on Gen. Thomas Meagher's reaction to the resignation of some of his officers after Gen. McClellan was removed from his command of the Army of the Potomac:</p><p>"<i>Commanding a brigade composed principally of Irish soldiers the Brigadier-General considers it not out of place to remind them that the great error of the Irish people in their struggle for an independent national existence has been their passionate and blind adherence to an individual instead of to a principle of cause. Thus for generations their heroic efforts in the right direction have been feverish and spasmodic when they should have been continuous equable and consistent.</i>"</p><p><b>Thomas Francis Meagher</b> 1823-1867 was an Irish nationalist and leader of the Young Irelanders in the Rebellion of 1848. After being convicted of sedition he was first sentenced to death but received transportation for life to Van Diemen's Land in Australia. In 1852 he escaped and made his way to the United States where he settled in New York City. At the beginning of the American Civil War Meagher joined the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of brigadier general. He was most notable for recruiting and leading the Irish Brigade U.S. 69th Infantry Regiment New York State Volunteers and encouraging support among Irish immigrants for the Union. He had one surviving son from his first wife.</p><p>Following the Civil War Meagher was appointed acting governor of the Montana Territory. In 1867 Meagher drowned in the swift-running Missouri River after falling accidentally from a steamboat at Fort Benton.</p> books

ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HENRY CHARLES LEA
Union League of Philadelphia Supports Lincoln on Emancipation African-American Troops in 1864
<p>"<i>The will of the people is supreme.</i>"</p><p>"<i>The vital principle of</i> Lincoln's <i>whole administration has been his recognition of the fact that our Government is simply a machine for carrying into effect THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HENRY CHARLES LEA.</b>Printed Pamphlet. <i>No. 18: The Will of the People</i> January – April 1864. 8 pp. 5½ x 8½ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>It has been generally assumed that the acts of the President have been the exponents of his own individual convictions. Democrats have censured him for converting the 'war against disunion' into a 'war against slavery.' Radical Republicans have been equally prone to condemn him as a half-hearted Abolitionist who required perpetual stimulation to perform his duty and who is not to be trusted because he did not immediately on his inauguration carry out the views which he had previously expressed of opposition to slavery.</i></p><p>"<i>Both parties seem to have forgotten that our form of government is as purely democratic as can be reduced to a practical system. Our whole political machinery is devised for the purpose of allowing the people to regulate the national policy. The will of the people is supreme.</i>" p3</p><p>"<i>For twenty years prior to his election he had on all fitting occasions expressed his disapprobation of slavery and his desire that it could be constitutionally done away with. Yet in the popular vote which made him President he saw the expression simply of a determination to resist the aggressions of slavery and not the condemnation of the system itself.</i>" p4</p><p>"<i>As the nation changed its views so he was ready to change his policy. When therefore the Emancipation Proclamation made its appearance the people was prepared to welcome that which a year earlier would have aroused a tempest of disapprobation.</i>" p5</p><p>"<i>The next step was the arming of negro troops. In July 1862 Congress authorized the employment of 'persons of African descent' in our armies. The public mind was not yet prepared to accept the assistance of the despised race. The administration accordingly did not press the matter.</i>" p5-6</p><p>"<i>Those who have witnessed the marvellous revolution in public opinion on this subject cannot but admire the manner in which Mr. Lincoln's honest deference to public opinion has produced results which the tact of the cunning statesman might have failed to secure. Taking each step as the voice of the people demanded it he has never been forced to retrace his position. Supported by and supporting the popular feeling he has moved onward in unison with it and each new development has afforded sure foothold for further progress.</i>" p6</p><p>"<i>His Proclamation of Amnesty puts into practical shape the wishes which have long been silently forming themselves in every loyal heart. Again has he divined the will of the people and at the fitting time his acts have responded making as far as his competence extends that will the law of the land. To this intuitive perception of public opinion and this skill in translating it into action Mr. Lincoln owes much of the success of his administration. He is at once the leader and the led.</i>" p7</p><p>"<i>The transitory passions of the multitude are very different from the slowly formed convictions of the people. The President has known to distinguish between them and he has at times shown as lofty a firmness to resist the former as he has ever manifested alacrity to respect the latter. The vital principle of his whole administration has been his recognition of the fact that our Government is simply a machine for carrying into effect THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.</i>" p8</p><p><b>Excerpts from Resolutions Passed January 11 1864:</b></p><p>"<i>And Whereas The Union League of Philadelphia composed as it is of those who having formerly belonged to various parties in this juncture recognize no party but their country; and representing as it does all the industrial mechanical manufacturing commercial financial and professional interests of the city is especially qualified to give in this behalf an unbiased authentic utterance to the public sentiment. Therefore</i>" p2</p><p>"<i>Resolved That we cordially approve of the policy which Mr. Lincoln has adopted and pursued as well as the principles he has announced as the acts he has performed: and that we shall continue to give an earnest and energetic support to the doctrines and measures by which his administration has thus far been directed and illustrated.</i>" p2</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Loyal Leagues also often known as Union Leagues were men's clubs established during the Civil War largely to support the war effort and the policies of the Lincoln administration. They usually consisted of the professional merchant and artisan classes in northern cities. The first such club formed in Philadelphia in 1862.</p><p>This pamphlet written by Henry C. Lea as director of the Union League of Philadelphia's Board of Publication insisted that Lincoln's policies reflected the will of the people. Six years earlier in his first debate with Stephen A. Douglas in August 1858 Lincoln famously said "In this and like communities public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed."</p><p>On April 15 1864 Lea met with Lincoln in Washington and three days later he wrote to Lincoln including two pamphlets he had recently written including this one. He informed Lincoln "I was much gratified to find from your remarks that in one of them—'The Will of the People'—I had to some extent indirectly appreciated the motives which have guided your policy. It appeared to me to present a line of argument likely to be effective before the people & I confess to surprise that it should not have been long since brought more prominently into notice to repel the attacks of radicals & Copperheads." <br /></p><p><b>Henry Charles Lea</b> 1825-1909 was born in Philadelphia and received a classical education from Irish American tutor Eugenius Nulty. Lea showed particular promise in natural history. He joined his father in the publishing business in 1843 but had a nervous breakdown in 1847. While recuperating he read medieval French history and decided to become a historian rather than a scientist. In 1850 he married his first cousin Anna Caroline Jaudon 1824-1912 who was of French Huguenot descent and they had four children between 1851 and 1859. Over the next fifty years Lea produced ten books and numerous articles on medieval institutional legal and ecclesiastical history. During the Civil War Lea was a member of the Union League of Philadelphia and led its Board of Publication. In that role he wrote many of the League's published pamphlets. From 1863 to 1865 he served as a Bounty Commissioner and aided the provost marshal in recruiting soldiers including African Americans. He continued in the publishing business until 1880 when his sons took over the firm. He continued to write and assemble an extensive medieval manuscript collection. He received honorary degrees from both American universities like Harvard Princeton and Pennsylvania and foreign universities in Giessen and Moscow.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Good with light foxing and toning.</p> books

King Clarence Hay John Lincoln Abraham
Clarence King Memoirs: The Helmet of Mambrino
New York: King Memorial Committee of The Century Association by G.P. Putnam's Sons 1904. First Edition. Leather bound. Near fine. Letter from Secretary of State John Hay to General James Grant Wilson regarding a lock of President Lincoln's hair. Octavo. vii 429pp. Three quarter green morocco title in gilt on spine decorative compartments. Frontispiece portrait with issue cover. Marbled endpapers. Bookplate affixed to front endpaper. Top edge gilt. Letter affixed to front endpaper from Secretary of State John Hay to Gen. James Wilson Grant dated November 8 1902 in response to an inquiry over whether he still possessed a lock of Lincoln's deathbed hair. Includes envelope. Letter notes that he "greatly regrets that I am not the possessor of a lock of Lincoln's hair. I had a little of it for a year or two after his death but in some unaccountable way it was lost." John Hay's search for locks of Lincoln's hair would be a lifelong passion for the friend of the slain president. In 1893 Hay wrote to Doctor Charles Sabin Taft a bystander physician who attended to President Lincoln after being shot at Ford's Theater asking if the doctor had any strands of hair in his possession. Doctor Taft declined to barter for his memento but in 1905 his son found the original letter and contacted Hay. In a hurry the hair was purchased by Hay and promptly encased in a yellow ring. This yellow ring was sent to President Theodore Roosevelt on the occasion of his inauguration. He wore the ring to his inauguration and it remains in the Theodore Roosevelt collection at Sagamore Hill. Mearns 1959. King Memorial Committee of The Century Association by G.P. Putnam's Sons unknown books

Faint folding creases; near fine. Issued March 11 1865 this was the second of two general amnesties issued by the President during the Civil War.

The first issued on March 10 1863 gave all deserters a full pardon with no consequences if they returned to their units by April 1. Those who did not would have their citizenship revoked and were subject to court-martial with penalties as severe as death. This second proclamation offered the same basic terms but allowed deserters 60 days to return to duty. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown books
