‎<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 9â…› 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

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. These proclamations were intended to bring deserters and draft evaders back into the fold and encourage loyalty to the Union. 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

‎ABRAHAM LINCOLN‎

‎Lincoln's Third State of the Union Address and Amnesty Proclamation‎

‎<p>Contains Lincoln's entire 1863 Message to Congress where he reaffirmed his commitment to emancipation as well as His Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction which laid out a plan to return the rebellious states to the Union fold. Commonly called the "Ten Percent Plan" it allowed for a state to hold new elections when 10% of its 1860 voters took a loyalty oath to the Union.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Newspaper. <i>New York Times</i> New York N.Y. Dec. 10 1863 with <i>"Supplement to The New York Times"</i> complete with its own masthead. 12 pp. 14¾ x 21 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt</b></p><p>"<i>To now abandon them would be not only to relinquish a lever of power but would also be a cruel and an astounding breach of faith. I may add at this point that while I remain in my present position I shall not attempt to retract or modify the emancipation proclamation nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation or by any of the acts of Congress.</i>"</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Throughout the fall of 1863 eventual Union victory became increasingly clear and on December 8 1863 Lincoln issued his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction. This lenient plan that offered citizens of the rebellious states full pardons voting and property rights except possession of slaves encouraged the states to begin addressing the issue of the freedmen and women without compromising their rights and allowed a former Confederate state to hold elections and form a pro-Union government once 10% of the number of voters in the 1860 election swore loyalty oaths. Commonly called the "Ten Percent Plan" it reflected both Lincoln's charitable view of Reconstruction as well as the reality that heavy penalties denial of voting and property rights to rebels and impoverishing the South was no way to rebuild a nation after a war fought at least initially to preserve the Union.</p> books‎

Their words whether truly said or not and their intentions were frequent targets of abuse in the press. The press of their respective days viewed both as spendthrifts and harshly questioned their motives attacking Marie Antoinette's commitment to the welfare of the French people "let them eat cake" and Mary Lincoln's loyalty to the Union in light of her southern familial ties.</p><p>Perhaps Mary Lincoln drew comfort and inspiration from Yonge's closing tribute to his royal subject quoted above. An incredible association copy acquired and inscribed by Mary Lincoln while she was living in France.</p><p><b>Mary Lincoln</b> 1818-1882 was born into the prominent Todd family in Lexington Kentucky. Educated at female academies and boarding schools she learned to speak French fluently and also studied literature dance drama and music. She was very well-educated for her time place and gender. In November 1842 she married Abraham Lincoln in Springfield Illinois and they had four sons. She supported her husband's political ambitions becoming First Lady in 1861. Because she was from a border state with several of her relatives supporting the Confederacy Mary Lincoln was the object of suspicion in the press. Although she was responsible for hosting many social functions her extensive spending to renovate the White House also drew complaints from a nation at war and from her husband. However she also visited wounded soldiers in Washington hospitals taking them fruit and flowers and writing letters home for them. Prone to severe headaches and depression she suffered the loss of three of her four sons and was present when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre.</p><p>After leaving the White House she lived in Chicago where her son briefly had her committed to a sanitarium in 1875. After being declared competent to manage her own affairs in 1876 she spent the next four years traveling in Europe and living in Pau France. She later returned to Springfield where she died in her sister's home.</p><p><b>Marie Antoinette</b> 1755-1793 was born in Vienna Austria the daughter of Francis I Holy Roman Emperor. She married the future French king Louis XVI 1754-1793 in 1770 when she was just fifteen years old. They had four children between 1778 and 1786. When her husband ascended to the throne in 1774 she became the Queen of France. The young royals came to symbolize all of the excesses of the reviled French monarchy and she became the target of a great deal of vicious gossip. After the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 the government placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace. After the abolition of the monarchy in September 1792 the Convention found the former king guilty of undermining the French Republic and executed him in January 1793.

Yrs truly Schuyler Colfax / Sept 10 1877Schuyler Colfax 1823-1885 born in New York City moved with his family to Indiana when he was an adolescent. Colfax pursued a career in journalism serving as legislative correspondent for the Indiana State Journal and becoming part-owner of the Whig organ of northern Indiana the South Bend Free Press renamed the St. Joseph Valley Register in 1845. Colfax was a member of the 1850 state constitutional convention and four years later was elected as a Republican to Congress where he served until 1869.

They offered it by subscription only with 300 artist's proofs available for $20 India roofs for $10 and plain proofs for $5. Marshall had been living in Paris and exhibiting in salons there. He returned home in 1866 and immediately began work on his Lincoln portraits. Gustave Dore stated that this engraving was "the best engraving ever made by any artist living or dead.".

‎ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GETTYSBURG ADDRESS‎

‎The Gettysburg Address with Full Centerfold Illustrations of the Battlefield and Lincoln's Dedication Ceremony‎

‎<p>"<i>and that Government of the people for the people and for all people shall not perish from earth.</i>"</p><p>As printing technology advanced through the middle decades of the nineteenth century illustrated newspapers grew in popularity even though their engravings added a few weeks to press time. <i>Leslie's</i>printing—from December 5—includes an article containing the full text of Lincoln's timeless speech page 11. Illustrations include a centerfold spread with the formal dedication ceremony prominently placed and smaller views of Union and rebel graves defensive works Meade's headquarters and a view of the town centerfold. A large illustration of "<i>The War in Tennessee—Lookout Mountain and Its Vicinity</i>" appears on the front page.</p><p>There is no definitive text that captures exactly how Lincoln spoke that day though the AP reporter's text is most familiar. <i>Leslie's</i> printing following the <i>Philadelphia Enquirer</i>version contains variations most notably in the final two sentences regarding the nation's unfinished work and closing phrase of "<i>Government of the people for the people and for all people</i>" rather than "<i>of the people by the people and for the people.</i>"</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN. GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.</b>Newspaper <i>Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper</i> New York December 5 1863. 16 pp. complete.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt:</b></p><p>"<i>Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this Continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing the question whether this nation or any nation so conceived so dedicated can long endure. We are met on the great battle-field of that war. We are met to dedicate it on a portion of the field set apart as the final resting place of those who gave their lives for the nation's life; but the nation must live and it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. In a larger sense we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground in reality. The number of men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor attempts to add to its consecration. The world will little know and nothing remember of what we see here but we cannot forget what these brave men did here. We own this offering to our dead. We imbibe increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; we here might resolve that they shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall under God have a new birth of freedom and that Government of the people for the people and for all people shall not perish from earth.</i>"</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Though November 20th imprints are the most valuable newspaper publications of the Gettysburg Address none are as lavish as this issue of <i>Leslie's</i> and none show the cemetery or provide images of the ceremony. It is also interesting to note that the leading illustrated newspaper <i>Harper's Weekly</i> did not publish the Address or illustrate the ceremony. This <i>Leslie's</i> issue published in far smaller quantities than <i>Harper's</i> is quite scarce.</p><p><i>Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper</i> was founded in 1852 and published until 1922. Originally established by <i>Illustrated London News</i>owner Frank Leslie 1821-1880 the weekly continued under the guidance of his widow suffragette Miriam Florence Leslie from 1880 until 1902 when she sold the highly recognizable brand. Specializing in patriotic topics and heavily reporting war efforts from the Civil War to World War I the newspaper also covered Arctic exploration the Klondike Gold Rush strikes and sporting events. Civil War reporting and illustration was among the paper's most successful ventures.</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Lincoln's speech delivered at Gettysburg National Cemetery on November 19 1863 has endured as a supreme distillation of American values. Over the past 150 years it has become a compelling testament to the sacrifices required to achieve freedom for all Americans. Lincoln made his speech at the cemetery's dedication some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day spoke first and his address took some ninety minutes to deliver. He evoked the ancient Greeks who save their society by defeating the Persians at Marathon drew upon Wellington's victory over Napoleon at Waterloo and then moved to a history of the Battle of Gettysburg—America's decisive victory in the struggle to save the nation. Though a masterpiece of period it has been largely forgotten.</p><p>Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes has persisted despite his assertion that "the world will little note nor long remember what we say here." Much has been written about Lincoln's famous speech from whether he read it or memorized it to when and where he wrote it. Many Americans believe Lincoln wrote the speech on the back of an envelope while riding the train to Gettysburg. This charming piece of fiction originated in Mary Shipman Andrews's 1906 book <i>The Perfect Tribute</i>. The real Address's writing is more complex. When Secretary of State William Seward gave a prepared speech on the evening of November 18 he gave a copy to the Associated Press. Reporters then repeatedly harassed John Hay one of Lincoln's personal secretaries for a copy of the President's speech. Hay demurred having neither the text nor any idea when it would be available. Based on the paper Lincoln used for his two drafts one page of Executive Mansion stationery and a page of lined paper then 2 identical pages of lined paper historian Gabor Boritt has concluded that the "likelihood remains that having written the first part of his speech in Washington Lincoln finished his First Draft in the evening in Gettysburg and then hurriedly wrote his Second Draft the next morning" Boritt 273. The text of the second draft is closest to the words recorded by reporters at the scene and is generally considered to be Lincoln's reading copy.</p><p>Newspaper copies and reports are another story one complicated by the fact that most witnesses to the dedication ceremony and speech outlived Lincoln by decades. But the words he spoke at Gettysburg only gained traction as his seminal contribution in the 1880s. As both the Lincoln legend and the speech's significance grew following the Civil War Reconstruction the Centennial and the rise of Jim Crow many more people than could have been possibly involved in the event have staked their claims to a Gettysburg Address connection.</p><p>With the advent of the telegraph news reporting had become big business and Lincoln surrounded himself with the press corps. Roy Basler editor of the <i>Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln</i> noted four reporters making shorthand notes of the speech: Associated Press and <i>New York Herald</i> reporter Joseph Gilbert <i>Boston Daily Advertiser</i> reporter Charles Hale and reporters from the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> and <i>Philadelphia Enquirer</i>. Gabor Boritt author of the definitive <i>The Gettysburg Gospel</i> adds John Hay one of Lincoln's personal secretaries to the list and refers to at least 23 additional reporters on the scene including many of Lincoln's allies in the Republican press. Known as "Lincoln's dog" <i>Philadelphia Press</i>owner John Forney offered a drunken pro-Lincoln rant on the evening before the speech but he was sober enough to wait for a slew of correspondents to arrive to take down his words.</p><p>What has come down as the standard version of the Address was compiled from Lincoln's drafts reports of what he spoke at the time and later revisions made by Lincoln himself. What is certain however is that "variations of the AP version reached more Americans in 1863 than any other" Boritt 239. The <i>New York Herald</i> received the text by telegraph and published it the next day. Later when Lincoln penned copies of his speech he is said to have referenced the AP report. A longtime story credits Joseph I. Gilbertof the Associated Press as having had "actually consulted Lincoln's delivery text briefly after the ceremony." This noted Garry Wills in 1992 "makes his version more authoritative for some scholars." Wills correctly credits the AP text as authoritative and in terms of cultural significance no other version had the reach of the AP's wording. The AP version and its slight variants usually comma placement and capitalization are easily identifiable because of the phrase "dedicated here to the refinished work…" rather than the correct "unfinished work."</p><p>However Gilbert's claim to be the reporter who delivered the AP's text does not withstand scrutiny. Gilbert did work for the AP at the time of the speech but he only made his assertion in 1914. In the ensuing fifty-four years the event's stature had grown to near-Biblical proportions. Gilbert recalled being so taken with Lincoln's words that he stopped recording the speech in shorthand. He claimed the President fortuitously allowed him to look at the manuscript copy and Gilbert insisted that "the press report was made from the copy no transcription from shorthand notes was necessary Boritt 371. However the AP version missed the word "poor" which other reporters caught and was present in the second draft; it also contained the phrase "under God" which was absent from the draft and notes five interruptions for applause followed by sustained applause at the speech's conclusion. When asked in 1917 Gilbert denied hearing any applause at all. These and other critical elements of the AP text cast serious doubt on Gilbert's claims.</p><p>Gabor Boritt writes that <i>Boston Daily Advertiser</i> reporter Charles Hale's eyewitness handwritten version should be preferred since it relied only on what Lincoln said; although one could counter-argue that he may not have captured Lincoln's words exactly. Both Boritt and Wills agree that while many other reporters' transcripts are generally inferior they nevertheless captured the word "poor" that both the AP and Hale missed. Interestingly when Hale's paper the <i>Boston Daily Advertiser</i> first published the Address on November 20 the paper incorrectly printed "The world will note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forbid what they did here" omitting the word "little" before "note" and changing "forget" to "forbid" —an odd discontinuity for a claim to the authoritative text though the reporter lamented that the speech had "suffered somewhat at the hands of telegraphers."</p><p>Versions printed on November 20 1863 are the Address's first appearance anywhere and are highly desirable as are other early printings. The <i>Washington Daily Chronicle</i> also owned by John Forney published Edward Everett's speech in its entirety but failed to include Lincoln's words in their November 20 edition so the paper published a 16-page pamphlet entitled "The Gettysburg Solemnities" dated November 22. It contained a number of the day's speeches and was the first time Lincoln's speech was printed separately. There are only three known copies a fourth disappeared from a library the last one on the market having sold at auction and then resold privately for approximately $650000. The first publication in book form printed by Baker and Godwin of New York was entitled <i>An Oration Delivered on The Battlefield of Gettysburg November 19 1863 at the Consecration of the Cemetery Prepared for the Interment of the Remains of Those Who Fell in the Battles of July 1st 2d and 3d 1863</i> also appeared within the week. Copies have sold privately for over $30000.</p><p><b>Gettysburg Address Manuscripts</b></p><p>Five manuscript versions written in Lincoln's hand are known. Library of Congress.</p><p>1. First draft the Nicolay copy after Lincoln's personal secretary John Nicolay. Library of Congress.</p><p>2. Second draft the Hay copy after Lincoln's personal secretary John Hay.</p><p>Much ink has been spilled over which of the first two was the copy Lincoln read; the answer is probably neither.</p><p>Three more versions were written later for charitable purposes and more closely approximate the words that Lincoln actually spoke.</p><p>3. The copy given to Edward Everett was intended as a fundraiser for the New York Metropolitan Fair; it is now at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield Illinois.</p><p>4. George Bancroft requested a copy to be lithographed and sold at the Baltimore Sanitary Fair to support the troops. Lincoln agreed but did not pen a title or signature and ran into the margins. Cornell University.</p><p>5. Because the Bancroft copy was impractical to reproduce Lincoln penned another adding the title and his signature. This known as the Bliss copy after Bancroft's stepson is at the White House.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Some loss to the gutter margin; the only text/engravings affected are along the vertical fold of the center spread on pages 8-9 168-69. The majority of the issue including the text of Lincoln's Address is in good or better condition.</p> books‎

‎ABRAHAM LINCOLN‎

‎Abraham Lincoln: Large 1861 Inauguration Chromolithograph‎

‎<p><b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Chromolithograph. <i>Presidents of the United States</i> Philadelphia: Published by F. Bouclet lithographed by A. Feusier. Sheet size: 21 in. x 27 in. Image size: 24½ in. x 18¾ in. </p><br />A large patriotic chromolithograph issued around the time of Abraham Lincoln's first inauguration. The central image is the goddess Columbia wearing a draped American flag flanked by bald eagle and Union shield. Behind her is a steam ship and the artist's rendition of what the then-uncompleted Capitol building was expected to look like. Surrounding Columbia is an ornate frame made up of portraits of the presidents of the United States from 1789-1861—including a beardless Abraham Lincoln: George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson James Madison James Monroe John Quincy Adams Andrew Jackson Martin Van Buren William H. Harrison John Tyler James K. Polk Zachary Taylor Millard Fillmore Franklin Pierce James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln.<p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Erin Mast curator of "My Abraham Lincoln" a 2009 exhibition at President Lincoln's Cottage Museum noted that the print "both commemorates Lincoln's election and recognizes the challenges and opportunities facing the 16th president. The 16 presidential portraits encircle symbols of the republic at a time when a divided nation faced secession and civil war. In the center Columbia holds a shield and liberty cap the latter being a symbol both of revolution and of freed slaves. A bald eagle grasps arrows and an olive branch and carries a ribbon with the motto 'E Pluribus Unum.' The Capitol dome shown completed at a time when it was still unfinished symbolizes the founding of the democratic republic while a steamship symbolizes development and progress. The allegorical images relate to concepts that Lincoln expressed in his first inaugural address; that seceding and breaking the Constitution would be a step backward not forward and violates the very principles of the Union a Union which is 'older than the Constitution.' By commemorating Lincoln's election and illustrating the troubled and complex scene he faced this chromolithograph encapsulates the spirit of Lincoln's presidency."</p><p><b>Provenance</b></p><p>From the Estate of Malcolm S. Forbes.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Damp stains at top two corners light mat burn but generally a very fine example.</p> books‎
