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.

PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES:" BROADSIDE CHROMOLITHOGRAPH COMMEMORATING THE INAUGURATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN AS PRESIDENT
Philadelphia: Published by F. Bouclet 1861. Rare beautifully colored 20" x 25-3/4" lithograph printed on wove paper titled "Presidents of the United States". Displays all the Presidents through a beardless Lincoln surrounding a vignette of Lady Liberty the American eagle a steamboat and the Capitol the dome complete as anticipated though still under construction. Published by F. Bouclet and lithographed by A. Feusier. In superb condition with just a hint of toning from previous framing. 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. The central scene is framed by oval portraits of the first sixteen presidents of the United States with George Washington at the top and a beardless Abraham Lincoln at the bottom" Reilly.<br/> The print "commemorates Lincoln's election and recognizes the challenges and opportunities facing the 16th president. In this image a portrait of Lincoln completes an unbroken ring of portraits depicting the 15 presidents who preceded him. The illustration calls to mind a quote from Lincoln's first inaugural 'Perpetuity is implied if not expressed in the fundamental law of all national governments'. By commemorating Lincoln's election and illustrating the troubled and complex scene he faced this chromolithograph encapsulates the spirit of Lincoln's presidency" Mast 'A Closer Look at Presidents of the United States 4 President Lincoln's Cottage page 2 2009. <br/>Reilly 1861-13.

Lincoln Abraham Pomeroy Theodore M.
PRINTED LETTER FROM POMEROY TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN JUNE 29 1863 RECOMMENDING THAT COLONEL JOHN S. CLARK BE PROMOTED TO BRIGADIER GENERAL
Auburn N.Y. 1863. Broadside 8" x 12-1/4". Very Good.<br/><br/> Congressman Pomeroy of Auburn who represented New York in Congress during the Civil War years and early Reconstruction has high praise for Colonel Clark serving on the staff of General Banks and recently wounded in the advance on Port Hudson. In the earliest days of the War during the Baltimore disorders he "mingled during the day and following night with the populace and rioters gathered all possible information and on the following morning returned to Washington and laid the information before the military authorities. Communications with Annapolis being cut off he accepted the hazardous position of bearer of dispatches from the War Department to Gen'l Butler and of the seventeen messengers sent on that mission was the only one who succeeded in reaching his destination without arrest and that was accomplished only by a night march on foot of twenty-five miles in a country with which he was unfamiliar and by swimming the Patuxent within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels." <br/>OCLC 768761257 1- Allen Cy Pub.

An Oration delivered on the Battlefield of Gettysburg November 19 1863 at the Consecration of the Cemetery Prepared for the Internment of the Remains of those who fell in Battles of July 1st 2d and 3d 1863
New York: Baker & Godwin 1863. 8vo. 9 x 5 5/8 inches. 48pp. Publisher's lettered wrappers publisher's ad on rear wrapper. Housed in a blue morocco box.<br/> <br/>"Four score and seven years ago.": the earliest publication of the Gettysburg Address in book form preceded only by the exceptionally rare sixteen-page pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities known in only three copies.<br/> <br/>Lincoln made his speech at the dedication of a cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Lincoln's speech was preceded by an address from Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day. Everett's speech took some ninety minutes to deliver and is largely forgotten. Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes is immortal. It is a supreme distillation of American values and of the sacrifices necessary for the survival of liberty and freedom. "The Washington Chronicle of 18-21 November reported extensively on this ceremony and included a verbatim text of 'Edward Everett's Great Oration.' On the fourth day it noted in passing that the President had also made a speech but gave no details. When it came to the separate publication on 22 November Everett's 'Oration' was reprinted from the standing type but Lincoln's speech had to be set up. It was tucked away as a final paragraph on page 16 of the pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities. It was similarly treated when the meanly produced leaflet was replaced by a 48-page booklet published by Baker and Godwin of New York in the same year" PMM. Lincoln's address appears on page 40 and parenthetical notes are added indicating "applause" and "long-continued applause."

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
The Only Abraham Lincoln Letter to his Fiancée Mary Owens Still in Private Hands—Long on Politics Short on Love
1836. No binding. Fine. Autograph Letter Signed to Mary S. Owens December 13 1836 2 pp. 9 3/4 x 7 3/4 in. ""Write back as soon as you get this and if possible say something that will please me for really I have not been pleased since I left you.""Here Lincoln perfectly demonstrates what Owens later described as deficiencies ""in those little links which make up the chain of a woman's happiness."" Rather than expressing his feelings for Owens Lincoln complains about his health and discusses political issues swirling in the Illinois General Assembly. Although inept at love the letter offers rare insight into the young representative's thoughts on a variety of political issues. In this highly important letter to Mary Owens a self-absorbed Lincoln complains to his potential spouse of his health both physical and mental and discusses political issues to the point that he describes his own letter as ""dry and stupid."" Perhaps more revealing than he realized it illustrates the tension in Lincoln's early life between matters of the head with which he was comfortable and matters of the heart with which he clearly was not. Complete Transcript Vandalia Decr 13. 1836Mary I have been sick ever since my arrival here or I should have written sooner. It is but little difference however as I have verry little even yet to write. And more the longer I can avoid the mortification of looking in the Post Office for your letter and not finding it the better. You see I am mad about that old letter yet. I dont like verry well to risk you again. I'll try you once more anyhow. The new State House is not yet finished and consequently the legislature is doing little or nothing. The Governor delivered an inflamitory political message and it is expected there will be some sparring between the parties about it as soon as the two Houses get to business. Taylor delivered up his petitions for the New County to one of our members this morning. I am told that he despairs of its success on account of all the members from Morgan County opposing it. There are names enough on the petitions I think to justify the members from our county in going for it; but if the members from Morgan oppose it which they say they will the chance will be bad. Our chance to take the seat of Government to Springfield is better than I expected. An Internal Improvement Convention was held here since we met which recommended a loan of several millions of dollars on the faith of the state to construct Rail Roads. Some of the legislature are for it and some against it; which has the majority I can <2> not tell. There is great strife and struggling for the office of U.S. Senator here at this time. It is probable we shall ease their pains in a few days. The opposition men have no candidate of their own and consequently they smile as complacently at the angry snarls of the contending Van Buren candidates and their respective friends as the Christian does at Satan's rage. You recollect I mentioned in the outset of this letter that I had been unwell. That is the fact though I belive I am about well now; but that with other things I can not account for have conspired and have gotten my spirits so low that I feel that I would rather be any place in the world than here. I really can not endure the thought of staying here ten weeks. Write back as soon as you get this and if possible say something that will please me for really I have not been pleased since I left you. This letter is so dry and stupid that I am ashamed to send it but with my present feelings I can not do any better. Give my respects to Mr & Mrs Abell and family. Your friend LincolnMiss Mary S. OwensHistoric BackgroundThis is one of the ten oldest Lincoln letters known to have survived. Although 11 leaves 9 of which are in institutions from Lincoln's educational sum book a few documents written or signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1832 relating to his service in the Black Hawk War again mos.

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.

Whitman Walt; Lincoln Abraham
Invitation to private reception following Whitman's lecture "The Death of Abraham Lincoln
New York City 1887. Invitation to Walt Whitman's private reception after his celebrated lecture "The Death of Abraham Lincoln" at Madison Square Theatre on April 14 1887. Whitman had given public readings of his Lincoln lecture variously edited since 1879; one version was published in Specimen Days in 1882-1883. Scheduled on the twenty-second anniversary of Lincoln's assassination the 1887 event was staged as a benefit for the ailing Whitman who remained seated throughout his sold-out tribute to the Union's "Martyr Chief": "there is a cement to the whole people subtler more underlying than any thing in written constitution or courts or armies - namely the cement of a death identified thoroughly with that people at its head and for its sake." As William Pannapacker notes Whitman's passionate public identification with Lincoln was central to his emergence as "The Good Gray Poet" a national treasure: "Whitman's experiments in self-creation finally succeeded with a major segment of the public when he enclosed his persona within the halo encircling the martyred President" Revised Lives 22. The New York audience for Whitman's performance included Mark Twain John Hay Augustus St. Gaudens James Russell Lowell and Charles Eliot Norton; Andrew Carnegie could not make it but purchased a box for $350. At the end of his performance Whitman was surprised by a gift of lilacs from poet E.C. Stedman's young granddaughter a reference to his great elegy for Lincoln "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd." In New York City for a single night Whitman hosted a reception in his rooms at the Westminster Hotel after the lecture; this invitation was printed for the occasion. The evening was an important one for New York literary society a celebration "at least as spectacular as the event itself" according to the New York Sun. Looking "like a painting of Jove" Whitman entertained a constant stream of admirers relieved only by the performance of the Afro-Cuban violinist Claudio Brindis de Salas Garrido "El Paganini Negro" who serenaded Whitman on a seventeenth-century Ruggeri violin: "Walt was mightily pleased with the music." A surprising survival a near-fine artifact of the nineteenth-century American literary scene. Ivory card measuring 2.75 x 3.75 inches printed recto only: "Walt Whitman / At Home -- Thursday Evening / April 14th 1887 / Westminster Hotel Irving Place and 16th St. New York." Penciled bookseller note to verso: "April 14 1887 for his most famous lecture Lincoln / WW in NY for only one 1 night." Card lightly toned; half-inch closed tear to head expertly repaired.

Lincoln Mrs. DA.; Mary Johnson Bailey Lincoln; Mary Porter Tileson Hemenway D. A.
Boston School Kitchen Text-Book. Lessons in Cooking for the use of Classes in Public and Industrial Schools
Boston: Roberts Brothers 1887. Octavo 19 x 13 cm. xxvii 237 5 16 1 pages. Index. Evident FIRST EDITION. Not a cookbook per se but rather an instruction manual "for the use of classes in public and industrial schools" based on the work being done by the Boston School Kitchen. The Boston School Kitchen was initiated and funded by Mrs. Mary Hemenway in summer of 1885 and was the introduction of cooking schools into the Boston Public School system and the first public school kitchen in the United States. Students from various schools in the system would choose to attend as an addition to their regular studies. Mrs. Hemenway supported the school for three years and for the first year instruction was given by Miss Amabel Hope. School Kitchen No. 2 was established in January 1886 in South Boston. Ten years later Miss Hope issued a report on the Cooking Schools indicating that the number of schools had grown to fourteen. Documents of the School Committee of the City of Boston for the Year 1895. Boston: Rockwell & Churchill City Printers 1895 page 281 ff. ~ Mrs. D. A. Lincoln was the first teacher at the Boston Cooking School though she recognized her inadequacy as a culinary instructor and replaced herself with Miss Joanna Sweeney. While at the school she wrote Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book 1884 the fore-runner to Fannie Merritt Farmer's Boston Cooking School Cook Book 1896. The Boston Cook Book included a section on operating a cooking school titled "An Outline of Study for Teachers". With the publication of the Boston School Kitchen Text-Book Lincoln had written the two works that became the foundation of cooking education for decades. ~ A school prize copy with the presentation inscription of the book's dedicatee Mrs. Mary Hemenway. The inscription reads "May Storey from Mrs. Mary Hemenway June added later in pencil 1885/6." And following in pencil in what appears to be the same hand "aged 12 years 1st Prize for highest percentage Diploma 98 and proficiency." Mary Porter Tileson Hemenway 1820-1894 was a remarkable American philanthropist. Born in New York she moved to Boston after marrying Augustus Hemenway a successful merchant. Quick to recognize significant needs she dedicated herself to a variety of educational causes helping to fund the both white and black colleges including Hampton and Tuskeegee in the south following the Civil War; she recognized that many soldier's wives did not know how to sew and so she provided training and materials for introduction of a sewing course within the Boston Public Schools. This led to her opening "an industrial-vocation school in Boston and two years later in 1885 she opened a kitchen in a public school the first venture of its kind in the United States. After three years the city assumed the cost of the kitchen and cooking as well as sewing became part of the program of education. Meanwhile in 1887 Mrs. Hemenway had started the Boston Normal School of Cooking which after her death in 1894 became the Mary H. Hemenway Department of Household Arts in the State Normal School of Framingham." HarvardSquareLibrary 09/18. Moderately edgeworn in illustrated paper boards over brown cloth. Professional repair to hinges and to one torn leaf. With the bookplate of Carl Sontheimer founder of Cuisinart and culinary collector. Cagle 479. Roberts Brothers hardcover books

Lincoln Abraham
First Philadelphia Printing of the Gettysburg Address
Abraham Lincoln. "The Gettysburg Address" contained in "Report of the Select Committee Relative to the Soldiers' National Cemetery Together with the Accompanying Documents as reported to the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania March 31 1864." Harrisburg: Singerly & Myers State Printers 1864. Lincoln's famous speech was originally delivered at the Dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg; this early volume following shortly after that dedication records the events of the day details of the cemetery and the soldiers interred there and the original text of the Gettysburg Address. <br/><br/>The Gettysburg Address is a speech that U.S. President Abraham Lincoln delivered during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday November 19 1863 four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. It is one of the best-known speeches in American history. This is the first Pennsylvania printing of the Address. It occupies the second unnumbered page of this volume on the recent consecration of the Soldier's National Cemetary near the end. Included also in the Report is material on the creation of the cemetery with statistical data names of the soldiers buried there and the program at the dedicatory ceremonies including the benedictions and the oration of the featured speaker Edward Everett. Wills's study of the Address discusses its textual variations and the surprising difficulty in determining precisely what Lincoln said. As printed here it tracks what Wills has identified as the likely text spoken by Lincoln; but differs in several respects from the 'final version' for example the omission of 'poor' in 'our poor power to add or detract.' In fair condition. Foxed frequent margin spotting. Original cloth worn at spine and extremities of boards with cardboard below cloth revealed. One full-page map of the battlefield and hospitals; one folding map of the cemetery grounds. unknown books

Booth LINCOLN John Wilkes
Civil War Broadside Advertising Play Contributed & Attended by John Wilkes Booth Lincoln's Assassin
BOOTH John Wilkes. Assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Civil War-dated printed broadside playbill 4.5" x 13" inches advertising a performance of Brian Boroihme at the Boston Museum where Booth was a regular performer for May 2 1862 exactly three years before the Lincoln assassination. Before becoming famous as a political radical and a murderer Booth was an erratic and popular performer from the well-known Booth family of Shakespearean actors. A supporter of slavery and the South he participated in the arrest and execution of abolitionist John Brown in 1859. In the fall of 1864 he hatched a plan to kidnap President Abraham Lincoln but the scheme failed. He then concocted the plot to assassinate Lincoln which he did in Ford's Theatre on April 14 1865 before jumping to the stage and allegedly crying out "Sic semper tyrannis! The South is avenged!" Booth was located and killed twelve days later. At the time of the playbill Both was performing in at least twelve pieces; including lead roles in Invisible Prince on May 9 and 12 1862 Peg Woffington on May 9 1862 Richard III on May 12 14 and 21 1862 and The Robbers on May 21 1862. It is very likely Booth contributed to and attended the live performance of Brian Boroihme advertised in the present playbill. In near fine condition. unknown books

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
A Confederate Newspaper Prints Lincoln's Response to Horace Greeley's Anti-Slavery Editorial
<p>On the front page under <i>"News from the North" </i>is the text of Abraham Lincoln's reply to <i>New York Tribune</i>editor Horace Greeley. Greeley's letter urging Lincoln to emancipate all slaves in Union-held territory was known as "The Prayer of Twenty Millions." It was first published on August 20 1862. Lincoln responded on August 22 declaring that his paramount goal is to save the Union regardless of its effect on slavery as well as his personal views that all men should be free.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Newspaper. <i>Richmond Whig</i> Richmond Va.

LINCOLN Abraham 1809 1865 President.
"A Proclamation." Being the: "Emancipation Proclamation" Liberty for Slaves. WITHIN: General Orders No. 1. General Orders of the War Department Embracing the Years 1861 1862 & 1863. Adapted specially for the use of the Army and Navy of the United States. Vol. II.
New York: Derby & Miller 1864. 1864. Volume II. 8vo. xxxi 1 711 1 pp. Subtle waterstain at top margin viewable from pages 500-712. Original full dark blue-green pebbled cloth gilt spine titles; light wear to extremities. Bookplate of the Essex Institute; small rubber stamp on title C.W. Post College Documents Library. The Emancipation Proclamation declared freedom for all slaves by January 1 1863. This proclamation is dated January 2 1863. Lincoln in writing this one of the most important documents in all US history declared "And by virtue of the power and fpr the purpose aforesaid I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and parts of the States are and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States including the military and naval authorities thereof will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons." / The War Orders of 1863 are among the most historical during the Civil War. The volume includes: General Orders No.1: Emancipation Proclamation Liberty for Slaves. / General Orders No.100: The Lieber Code How soldiers should conduct ethically themselves in wartime. / General Orders No. 143: Order for the creation of the United States Colored Troops. / General Orders No.1. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1 1863. With this Executive Order. He took a decisive stand on the most contentious issue in American history redefined the Union's goals and strategy and sounded the death knell for slavery. / Lincoln had always believed slavery to be immoral and fought its expansion. The President took the action "sincerely believed to be an act of justice" knowing that it might cost him the election. / With the Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln dramatically tied the Union's war aims to ending slavery. Whether they approved or not after January 1 1863 Americans could no longer deny that emancipation was central to the Union war effort. / Though ready to lay the groundwork for emancipation Lincoln feared that delivering the Proclamation at the wrong time would doom its chances for public acceptance and harm the Union cause. / On September 22 1862 Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation giving the South 100 days to end the rebellion or face losing their slaves. / His final Proclamation on January 1 1863 further demonstrated his own evolving views by eliminating earlier references to colonizing freed blacks and compensating slave-owners for voluntary emancipation. Lincoln also added provisions for black military enlistment. Pausing before he signed the final Proclamation Lincoln reportedly said: "I NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT MORE CERTAIN THAT I WAS DOING RIGHT THAN I DO IN SIGNING THIS PAPER." Despite the political risks by 1864 he insisted on both reunion and emancipation as preconditions to any peace negotiation. Though the battle for civil rights would have to follow Lincoln rightly regarded the Proclamation as: "THE CENTRAL ACT OF MY ADMINISTRATION AND THE GREAT EVENT OF THE 19TH CENTURY" Derby & Miller, 1864. hardcover books
