‎Lincoln Abraham 16th President of the United States‎

‎The Rail Splitter Vol. I No. 16 October 6 1860‎

‎Chicago: Charles Leib 1860. Very Good. Four-page newspaper. A couple of small holes various brown spots and other bits of minor wear A campaign newspaper for Abraham Lincoln in the Presidential Campaign of 1860. We note a half-column story on the front page of this issue that accuses Senator Douglas of being a Roman Catholic -- a charge based partly on the fact that Mrs. Douglas was a Catholic as were their children -- probably an effective charge in largely Protestant mid-19th century America. Our brief research suggests that Douglas was not a Catholic or a formal member of any other organized religious group. The purpose of another half-column story on the front page was to make it clear that Lincoln had publicly condemned the actions of John Brown and did not object to Brown's execution. Charles Leib the editor was a political operative with a murky background who had previously edited a Democratic campaign newspaper on behalf of the Buchanan campaign in 1856. Leib served briefly as an Assistant Quartermaster in the Union Army before heading to new Mexico probably in 1863 and died there in 1865 at the age of 38. <br/><br/> Charles Leib unknown books‎

‎Lear Benjamin Lincoln 1792 1832‎

‎AN ORATION DELIVERED AT THE CELEBRATION OF OUR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AT THE CITY OF WASHINGTON JULY 4th 1816 cover title. A 25pp. manuscript draft of his speech with ink and pencil corrections signed by Lear on the manuscript title page. Accompanied by a request from the mayor of Washington DC seeking a copy for publication; 2 autograph letters signed by Lear to his step-mother Fanny Lear; and 3 letters from Lear's widow and his daughter also to Fanny Lear‎

‎1842. Lear's 25pp. speech approx. 4000 words selfwraps with ms. title page bound at left margin with a thin ribbon. Lear's prose celebrates the 40th anniversary of the founding of the United States its Constitution and first President but also speaks of the more recent events of the War of 1812. Lear's summation of the country's virtues include "extensive territory a salubrious climate a fertile soil & a people hardy enterprising brave & virtuous" and a Constitution which has proved its excellence and efficacy in both peace and war: "These are some of the blessings which distinguish us from every other state which has ever been prophesied in history. These attract to our shores the virtuous & the persecuted and will soon raise us to a proud preeminence among the nations." The speech was apparently published in the July 9 1816 edition of the "Daily National Intelligencer" in Washington DC. An autographed note signed by Mayor James H. Blake 1p. approx. 26 words is included here congratulating Lear and requesting a copy for publication though we have found no record of a separate printing. Blake was mayor during the siege and burning of the city by the British in 1814.<br/>This group of material also includes two ms. letters from Benjamin Lear in Washington to his stepmother Fanny Dandridge Henley Lear one from May 7 1815 2 1/4 pp. approx. 400 words and one from May 21 1815 3pp. approx. 625 words. Fanny was away from home visiting relatives in Surry Co. Virginia and Benjamin was reporting on his stewardship of the household his attempts to sell a calf and his settling into the house enough to invite people to dinner. He tell her his business in the city has increased greatly and "my dear father Tobias Lear advises me to go to Philadelphia in the course of the summer to purchase a library- oh! I shall yet be a great man. I trust and it is the height of my ambition to be the greatest lawyer in this country." He also says his father has been suffering with a rheumatic headache. Lear mentions that friends from Gibraltar and Tripoli have recently arrived in the city including Mr. Morgan who "never heard from any of their friends in Cadiz the slightest hint of the malicious report which we had here" regarding Richard S. Hackley Consul to Cadiz.<br/>The remaining three ms. letters in this collection are joint letters from Benjamin Lear's young daughter Louisa nicknamed 'Loulean' and his widow Louisa Sophia Bomford Lear who had married Richard Derby following Benjamin's death to her former mother-in-law Fanny Lear. Though none of the three have year dates Loulean's activities indicate she was under 10 years old at the time. The first letter dated Dec. 30 no year is 3 1/2 pp. approx. 700 words. The first two pages are written in a child's careful hand complete with smudges reporting on practicing her Catechism dancing the "Cachucha" and performing in plays. Her mother's note follows explaining why she has not heard from them sooner saying it took Loulean about three weeks to write what she did. The next two letters from July are equally charming and full of the little girl's activities. Benjamin Lincoln Lear was the only child of Tobias Lear most well known as George Washington's personal secretary and tutor to his step grandchildren. Benjamin was born at the President's house in Philadelphia in 1792 and Washington was named his godparent. His mother Mary "Polly" Long died when he was two and Tobias married second Frances Bassett Washington widow of President Washington's nephew George Augustine Washington and third Frances Dandridge Henley Martha Washington's niece. Benjamin spent his youth at boarding schools or with his grandmother in New Hampshire. In these letters Benjamin addresses Fanny Dandridge Lear 1779-1856 as "dear mother."<br/>Benjamin Lincoln Lear had a successful career as a lawyer in Washington DC until cholera claimed his life in 1832 just shortly before the birth of his only child Louisa. <br/><br/> paperback books‎

The milestone cookbook from the first principal of the Boston Cooking School and a student of Maria Parloa. According to the preface the work was "undertaken at the urgent request of the pupils of the Boston Cooking School who have desired that the receipts and lessons given during the last four years in that institution should be arranged in a permanent form." Considered one of the first American cookbooks to provide scientific information about cooking and nutrition. It helped set the pattern of rational organization for cookbooks to come. Both famous and important "this book marked a change in culinary literature. Having directed the Boston Cooking School est. 1879 she Lincoln was able to arrange her material in an orderly plan and to set it forth in plain sensible language that housewives could understand. While it instantly became the standard kitchen companion it had still greater effect in shaping the course of early work in domestic science in grade and normal schools. Fanny Farmer's Cook Book is a direct outgrowth from this.
