ZARA, Louis
Dark Rider: A Novel Based on the Life of Stephen Crane
Cleveland: The World Publishing Company 1961. Hardcover. Small 4to. Red cloth with gilt spine lettering pictorial dust jacket. 505pp. Very good/very good. Minor jacket edgewear and age toning. Tight and attractive first edition of this historical fiction -- with lovely autograph addition: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a Typed Letter Signed from Zara 5½" X 8½" Chicago IL 6 August 1941. Addressed to Lincoln/Civil War scholar Arnold F. Gates 1914-93. Near fine. On imprinted letterhead Zara thanks his admirer for sending copies of two Lincoln-related pamphlets he'd published asking: "I am curious about these booklets. Do you print these yourself and how do you distribute them I hope the contact with Morrow will do you some good. I am always glad to help where I can." Of his next book he notes: "I am working on the revision of my book and alas! no good clinching title has come as yet: usually my wife picks one almost from the first chapter." Presumably he refers to his 1943 release "Against This Rock." He goes on: "I saw in the press that Louis Bromfield had been in and out of the city of Chicago a number of times. Recalling how enthusiastic you were about him I wrote him a note asking him to give me a call when he came through next. He said he would." Boldly signed in black ink at the close. Zara 1910-2001 was a New York book and magazine editor and publisher who authored a handful of novels mainly historical fiction and fictionalized biographies such as this one and others on Philip II of Spain and Herman Melville.

William H. Lambert. Asks Reports Upon the Following Books and Pamphlets Relating in Whole or Part to Abraham Lincoln
Philadelphia: William H. Lambert 1906. Paperback. 8vo. Self-cover. 3pp. Very good. Mild age toning. Lincoln collector extraordinaire Lambert 1842-1912 used to send out lists such as this of Lincolniana he lacked; they worked for he ended up with one of the greatest Lincoln collections in existence though a fire in 1906 destroyed part of it. Monaghan records one such 1906 list noting that "a variant was issued earlier" -- apparently he knew of its existence but was unable to locate a copy to record in his bibliography. This is an example of that scarce pre-1906 want list and it consists of a simple single column list of 108 titles. Fascinating to Most uncommon. MONAGHAN 1504 variant. William H. Lambert paperback

Addressed to noted Lincoln scholar Arnold F. Gates 1914-93. Near fine. Faint original folds. On "Williams College" letterhead Burns writes provocatively on Lincoln's leadership in part: "You raise such a basic question about Lincoln that I cannot do justice to it in a letter. Actually I am still trying to sort out my own views of Lincoln especially since I deal with him at the start of the second volume of 'The American Experiment.' On the one hand I am impressed by his superb political operationalism and by his ability to couch the reasons for his actions in such noble words. On the other hand I am not sure what grade to give to a man who essentially as I see it operated brilliantly amid multiple political and moral pressures but did not it seemed to me for a long time raise the whole struggle to the moral dimension that was required by the price paid in the Civil War. I any event I will pursue my wonderings and reflections on all this and am properly influenced by your own remarks." He continues "Perhaps I could put my own view more succinctly by saying that I believe that along with the kind of brilliant transactional leadership that Lincoln represented there is a place for transforming leadership a distinction I tried to develop in a book I wrote a few years ago on leadership."

Washington DC: United States Government Printing Office 1958. Paperback. Small 4to. Wrappers. 23pp. Very good. Would rate a "Near fine" but for single staple hole at top center of front wrapper only. First separate printing. Tight and handsome -- and as duly noted near the bottom of the front wrapper "Not printed at Government expense"! Titled "The Choice in Asia -- Democratic Development in India" this is the future president's impassioned argument for an economic aids program resolution that he and Senator John Sherman Cooper from Kentucky had proposed. It got nowhere in 1958 but managed to pass in 1959. An interesting rather uncommon piece. United States Government Printing Office paperback

(COX, Samuel Sullivan)
Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Samuel Sullivan Cox A Representative from New York Delivered in the House of Representatives and in the Senate
Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1890. Hardcover. Small 4to. Blind-embossed black cloth with gilt lettering. 264pp. Engraved frontispiece. Very good. Very minor edgewear; slight abrasion near foot of spine. A tight and handsome first edition of this eulogy collection occasioned by the death of this well-known American politician and diplomat nicknamed "Sunset" 1824-89 who served Congress both from Ohio 1857-65 and New York 1873-89 with a brief interval as minister to the Ottoman Empire. While a signed copy of this would of course raise eyebrows here's the next best thing: Tipped to the front flyleaf is a choice 4" X 2½" lined slip on which Cox boldly penned in brown ink: "Here it is! / SS Cox." -- an appropriate sentiment as the sun set on "Sunset" Cox. Discreet ex-library copy with very few markings -- bookplate on front pastedown indicates this was given to a public library in 1895 by an Illinois representative R.R. Hitt 1834-1906.
