Lincoln Abraham.
General Orders No. 1: Thirteenth Amendment. War Department Adjutant General's Office. Washington January 8 1866.
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.

Although this executive order did not actually free a large number of slaves it set the stage for the freedom of all slaves. Coverage of the Emancipation in this newspaper begins in the middle of the first page. This newspaper article represents important coverage of a very significant event in American History. archives government exhibits emancipation website books

MOIVRE Abraham de
Annuities upon Lives: or The Valuation of Annuities upon any Number of Lives; as also of Reversions. To which is added An Appendix concerning the Expectations of Life and Probabilities of Survivorship
1 p.l. 4 viii 108 2 slip of errata mounted on final blank leaf. 8vo attractive antique panelled calf some light foxing throughout spine lettered in gilt. London: Printed by W.P. and sold by F. Fayram et al. 1725. First edition. Employing the mortality statistics gathered by Edmund Halley in the 1690s de Moivre formulated the theory of annuities. "De Moivre's contribution to annuities lies not in his evaluation of the demographic facts then known but in his derivation of formulas for annuities based on a postulated law of mortality and constant rates of interest on money. 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. Ths mathematics became a standard part of all subsequent commercial applications in England."-D.S.B. IX p. 454. Very good copy. ❧ Garrison-Morton 1690.

Neue Theorie von der Entstehung der Gänge mit Anwendung auf den Bergbau besonders den freibergischen
xxxx 256 pp. 8vo cont. paste-paper boards minor foxing uncut. Freiberg: Gerlach 1791. First edition. This work by Werner who is known as the father of historical geology describes his "theory of the origin of ore deposits which would be consistent with his general theory of the origin of the earth's crust.Many of its elements were of lasting value. Werner formulated basic questions about the origin and history of veins and their contents established criteria for determining the relative age of veins and vein materials and presented a comparative study of the structure of veins and rock masses.Perhaps the most important contribution of Von den Entstehung der Gänge however was that it made the study of vein formation an integral part of historical geology."D.S.B.

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
