Volume 1</i> Washington: Government Printing Office 1861. 839 pp. 5¾ x 8¾ in. </p><b>Excerpt</b><p><i>"A disloyal portion of the American people have during the whole year been engaged in an attempt to divide and destroy the Union. A nation which endures factious domestic division is exposed to disrespect abroad and one party if not both is sure sooner or later to invoke foreign intervention. </i></p><p><i> Nations thus tempted to interfere are not always able to resist the counsels of seeming expediency and ungenerous ambition although measures adopted under such influences seldom fail to be unfortunate and injurious to those adopting them. </i></p><p><i> The disloyal citizens of the United States who have offered the ruin of our country in return for the aid and comfort which they have invoked abroad have received less patronage and encouragement than they probably expected.</i></p><p><i> It continues to develop that the insurrection is largely if not exclusively a war upon the first principle of popular government--the rights of the people. Conclusive evidence of this is found in the most grave and maturely considered public documents as well as in the general tone of the insurgents. In those documents we find the abridgment of the existing right of suffrage and the denial to the people of all right to participate in the selection of public officers except the legislative boldly advocated with labored arguments to prove that large control of the people in government is the source of all political evil. Monarchy itself is sometimes hinted at as a possible refuge from the power of the people. </i></p><p><i> In my present position I could scarcely be justified were I to omit raising a warning voice against this approach of returning despotism."</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>President Lincoln's first message to Congress in 1861 immediately follows the title page. In the first year of both his presidency and the Civil War Lincoln criticizes disloyal citizens who are trying to ruin the country. He acknowledges that the Confederates firing on Fort Sumter ended hope of a peaceful solution and expresses his confidence in General McClellan. Lincoln also expounds on the foreign affairs the relationship of labor to capital and reports on domestic commerce and other affairs. The remainder of the book is over 400 pages of papers relating to foreign affairs and correspondence with other nations and diplomats. The second half of the book is made up of the Reports of the Secretaries of the Interior War Navy and Postmaster General.</p><p><b>Condition </b></p><p>Good.

‎The 1858 Debates that Propelled Lincoln to National Attention‎

‎Columbus OH 1860. Hardcover. Fine. Book. Political Debates Between Hon. Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Douglas in the Celebrated Campaign of 1858 in Illinois. Columbus Ohio: Follett Foster and Co. 1860. 3rd edition with publisher's advertisements bound in. 268 pp. 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 in. Historical BackgroundLincoln's debates with incumbent Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas earned him national prominence. Slavery was the pressing national issue especially regarding its expansion into the western territories. Douglas authored the Kansas-Nebraska Act 1854 which effectively repealed the free-slave dividing line set by the Missouri Compromise 1820 at 36° 30' north latitude. Instead of banning slavery north of the line and banning south of it new states would instead decide on slavery's status within their borders by ""popular sovereignty."" On its surface Douglas's bill appeared to offer the nation a middle path on the contentious issue of slavery. Instead it would only muddy the waters on slavery.The Kansas-Nebraska Act was only one of a long list of compromises in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. Despite these attempts the slavery debate only became more heated throughout the 1850s. Northerners seeing the hypocrisy of ""states rights"" advocates chafed when a new Fugitive Slave Act 1850 required the use of federal marshals to return escaped slaves. An unintended consequence of Douglas's bill resulted in fraudulent elections and violence in Kansas in 1855 and 1856. South Carolina Representative Preston Brooks bludgeoned Massachusetts anti-slavery Senator Charles Sumner on the Senate floor after an 1856 speech. In 1857 the Supreme Court handed down the Dred Scott decision which decreed that African Americans could not be citizens and based on one's right to bring property across state lines effectively erased the division between free and slave states. Slavery unspoken but protected in the Constitution and mitigated by antebellum compromisers was a tinderbox about to roar to fire.Lincoln recognized the problems slavery presented for the nation and in his debates with Douglas focused his attention on the nationalization of slavery both West and North. After he was nominated as the Republican candidate for the Senate he spoke to the convention famously asserting that ""a house divided against itself cannot stand."" The House Divided speech delivered at Springfield Illinois on June 17 1858 is the opening piece of this book. Though he would lose the Senate race the rest of the book details Lincoln's intellectual combat with Douglas over slavery. This book is a third edition identified by the line over publisher's imprint on the back of the title page the numeral ""2"" at bottom of page 13 and publisher's advertisements bound in at head.Harrison Yerkes 1841-1899 enlisted as soon as the Civil War erupted but since he was under 21 years of age in 1861 his father removed him from service. As soon as he reached the age of majority he enlisted in the 31st Michigan Infantry Company and remained in the Army for the remained of the war. He returned to Michigan purchased two tracts of land which he farmed until retiring in 1891.

‎FLOUCAUD DE FOURCROY Abraham Leon‎

‎Manuscript entitled "Conférences sur le Cannonage faites à bord de l'Uranie" with numerous hand-drawn illustrations of cannons guns ammunition and instruments in the margins as well as many tables in the text‎

‎157 leaves of text paginated 1-124 & 129-317 nothing seems lacking. Large 4to 318 x 215 mm cont. sheep-backed black cloth extremities slightly worn title in gilt on spine. S.l.: c. 1852. A finely written and illustrated manuscript with highly technical observations on French naval artillery training and testing in the mid-19th century which are complemented by numerous hand-drawn marginal diagrams and many tables. The present manuscript was composed by Floucaud de Fourcroy 1831-1929 a descendant of the famous chemist Antoine de Fourcroy as a cadet aboard the Uranie a former frigate converted into a training ship in 1851. By the end of his career Floucaud de Fourcroy was a highly decorated admiral and commander in the Legion of Honor. The present manuscript recapitulates the curriculum of naval artillery in the middle of the 19th century. It begins with a survey of weapons classifications artillery rifles swords pikes axes etc. and the situations in which to use them different types of ammunition and their purposes and the history of their development. There are then lengthy explanations of each weapon's size range reloading time effectiveness etc. Each of these is presented with precise measurements and dimensions. The author recounts the multitude of exercises which a cadet had to undergo and master in order to progress as a naval officer pp. 265-90. There are also extensive notes on his lessons in ballistics often accompanied by intricate diagrams and mathematical formulas. Pages 295-96 feature a section entitled in trans.: "Notes on the Practical Instruction which a Sailor-Gunner must Receive." The drawings in the margins many very complex illustrate the composition of ships weapons ammunition and instruments the trajectory of cannons and firearms the construction of equipment the optimal angles of attack the adjustments necessary to maintain accuracy while the ship is in motion etc. etc. On page 317 Floucaud de Fourcroy has drawn detailed cross-sections of five types of cannons. The tables concern the range of various cannons their effectiveness at specific ranges in terms of speed and their penetration the supply needs of cannons the number of cannons that can fit on a ship etc. A most interesting manuscript in fine condition that captures the state of French naval training and warfare in the middle of the 19th century.

‎8vo one sheet printed on both sides. Even toning and aging small closed tear to the upper margin; otherwise very good. This is a rather scarce government document that informs the military that the "Thirteenth Amendment" has passed and slavery is officially abolished. Article XIII states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This document is signed in type by William H. Seward 1801-1872 as the Secretary of State. Congress would follow with a Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give African Americans the same rights as all citizens but this small printed document presenting the essence of the "Thirteenth Amendment" is an important piece of history.

Here one finds the treatment of joint annuities on several lives the inheritance of annuities problems about the fair division of the costs of a tontine and other contracts in which both age and interest on capital are relevant.
