[CIVIL WAR; EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION]. LINCOLN, ABRAHAM
General Orders Containing General Order No. 139 the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation
Washington D.C.: War Department 1862. Calf marbled boards. Very Good. FIRST OBTAINABLE PRINTING OF THE PRELIMINARY EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION setting a date for the freedom of more than three million enslaved in the United States and reframing the Civil War as a fight against slavery. Issued by the War Department to regimental commanders in the field during the Civil War in the week after the completion of President Lincoln’s official manuscript version. Contained is a set of three volumes of General Orders covering the full year 1862 July-Dec 1863 and the full year 1864. History of the Emancipation Proclamation:<br /> <br /> “The proclamation has been called by responsible persons one of the three great<br /> documents of world history ranking with Magna Carta and the Declaration of<br /> Independence†– Eberstadt<br /> <br /> “From the first days of the Civil War slaves had acted to secure their own liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation confirmed their insistence that the war for the Union must become a war for freedom. It added moral force to the Union cause and strengthened the Union both militarily and politically. As a milestone along the road to slavery’s final destruction the Emancipation Proclamation has assumed a place among the great documents of human freedom†– National Archives<br /> <br /> Following the Seven Days Battle and General McClellan’s retreat from the Peninsula at the end of June 1862 President Lincoln realized that there would be no early end to the war and found himself “as inconsolable as it was possible for a human to be and yet live.†Anxious for news from the army and needing to escape the constant interruptions at the White House he frequently visited the telegraph office in the War Department building to await dispatches. It was during one such visit early in July that he asked the chief of the telegraph staff Major Thomas Thompson Eckert for some paper to “write something special†and began the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation completing it in a few weeks. Lincoln had long hoped to resolve the slavery issue through a congressional act of emancipation compensating slave owners for their loss of “property†but that approach was roundly rejected by representatives from the border states leaving the President who had decided upon the necessity of emancipation with a presidential proclamation as the only option. The extraordinary document he conceived would announce the liberation on January 1 1863 of all slaves in those states still in rebellion against the Union and promised compensation to slave owners in those states that returned to the fold before that time if they adopted “immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery.†This proclamation would be followed by a final proclamation issued on the 1st of January identifying those states still in rebellion and confirming the liberation of all slaves therein.<br /> <br /> On Tuesday July 22 Lincoln presented his draft to the Cabinet telling them that he had resolved firmly upon the course of action it specified and asking them not for advice but suggestions. The only observation he had not anticipated came from Secretary of State Seward who proposed that it might be best to wait for a military victory before issuing the Proclamation as it could otherwise seem like “the last measure of an exhausted government.†Immediately recognizing the wisdom of the suggestion Lincoln held back. On September 17 after an anxious wait of nearly two months he received the victory he needed at the bloody Battle of Antietam. Completing his final draft Lincoln presented it to his cabinet for refinement on September 22. Following the meeting Seward took the amended draft with him to the State Department where a formal manuscript copy was made then signed by Lincoln and Seward. The formal official “Emancipation Proclamation†was of course issued on January 1 1863 the day it became the law of the land.<br /> <br /> Printing History:<br /> <br /> This printing in the War Department’s official “General Orders†is the fourth printing overall but realistically the first obtainable printing. It is preceded by:<br /> <br /> -The first printing Eberstadt #1 a small three-page circular intended for distribution within the government and to the local press likely printed on September 22. At the time that Charles Eberstadt published his study of the Proclamation 1950 he was able to locate only one copy which he himself owned and as nearly as we have been able to determine no other copies have come to light since then.<br /> <br /> -The second printing Eberstadt #2 may be a phantom printing. Charles Eberstadt was not able to locate a copy but he inferred its existence from the standard State Department practice of printing a folio edition consisting solely of the text of the proclamation followed by another printing consisting of the text of a letter of transmittal from the Secretary of State as well as the text of the proclamation. While there may be a copy of Eberstadt #2 in the National Archives as he speculated it is not recorded in their online catalogue nor have we been able to find a copy in any other online catalogue including OCLC the Library of Congress and the Abraham Lincoln Library.<br /> <br /> -Eberstadt’s third printing is of legendary rarity. It consists of Secretary of State Seward’s one-page letter of transmittal addressed “To the Diplomatic and Consular Officers of the United States in foreign countries†and the text of the proclamation. Eberstadt located a total of only five copies in institutions at the Library of Congress the National Archives Yale the Clements Library and Brown. OCLC does not record any additional copies nor is it recorded in Monaghan. There has been one copy at auction $400000 in 2021 and that was described as the only copy in private hands. <br /> <br /> -The present copy General Orders No. 139 is Eberstadt’s fourth printing of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation dated in print on September 24. Eberstadt surmises that this field order printing could have been accomplished as late as September 29 or 30. Although it may have been printed in as many as 15000 copies it is very rare in commerce likely due to the ephemeral nature of the printing and distribution.<br /> <br /> Additional General Orders and Provenance:
<br /> <br /> The three volumes once belonged to John G. Haskell A.Q.M. Chief Quartermaster and contain the General Orders for the year 1862 July-December only for the year 1863 and for the full year 1864. John Gideon Haskell 1832-1907 was a resident of Kansas and joined the Union Army when the war broke out. He enlisted with the 14th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry Regiment and later served as Assistant Quartermaster General of Kansas as quartermaster of the Third Kansas and the Tenth Kansas Volunteers as Captain and Assistant Quartermaster on the staff of General James G. Blunt and as Chief Quartermaster of the Army of the Frontier. After the war Haskell was named official state architect and worked on the state house the capitol the State University and more.<br /> <br /> In addition to the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation the three volumes also contain the Acts of Congress on many other subjects including pay discharge recruitment handling of troops etc.<br /> <br /> Washington D.C.: War Department Adjutant General’s Office 1862-64. Three volumes. Small octavo contemporary three-quarter brown morocco two volumes with cloth boards one with marbled boards. Some rubbing and wear to bindings pencil notations on endpapers with collation and highlighting certain orders and some internal pages. Dampstaining to general title of 1862 volume; internal text and Emancipation Proclamation generally fine.

[ENGLISH CIVIL WAR]
The late proceedings of The Scottish Army: As also the taking of Cannon Froome. Certified By an Expresse from his Excellencies Quarters the Earle of Leven Lord Generall. Dated at Ludbury the 23. of July 1645. Together with other Letters from the Kings Quarters to the Generall and Lieutenant-Generall and Answers thereunto
London: Printed by M. B. for Robert Bostock 1645. 2 6pp. Modern navy morocco lettered in gilt to spine T.E.G. Marbled endpapers early alternate manuscript pagination to upper corners. With a loosely inserted letterpress receipt from bookseller Frank Hammond addressed to Lord Cottesloe acknowledging payment of £12 for the book in 1961. The sole edition of a decidedly uncommon news-book account of the actions of the Army of the Solemn League and Covenant - led by veteran Scottish Army officer Alexander Leslie 1st Earl of Leven c.1580-1661 - in the summer of 1645 reporting most particularly on their taking of a royalist garrison within the moated house at Cannon Froome Herefordshire. Following the defeat of a Royalist rebellion against the Covenanting-led Scottish Government in the Spring of 1645 the Scottish army of the Solemn League and Covenant - named after the 1643 treaty between the reforming parliaments in England and Scotland- led by the Earl of Leven marched south to assist their allies. As this news-book reports a 'party of 4500 Horse Foot and Dragoons' en route to Hereford became aware of a Royalist garrison led by 'Governor Colonell Barnold' in the small Herefordshire village of Castle Froome. After the Royalist commander refused to surrender the moated house which had been reinforced with Irish volunteers after the battle of Newark Leven the 'Lieut. Generall.gave order for storming the place'. The heat of the battle is described thus from a purely Roundhead perspective: 'The Grasses were about nine foot deep and as broad and in most places full of water; The Works above the Grasses were so high that all the Ladders we could get were too short; the Enemy behaved themselves valourously but it pleased the Lord to give our Souldiers to much courage that after a hot dispute they were beate from their works after which they fled to the house where they fought desparately till a great part of them were killed. We lost about 16. and 24. are wounded; of the Enemy were killed about 70. Colonell Barnold deadly wounded Captain Briskoe Capt. Houke & thirty others taken Prisoners.' ESTC records copies at just seven locations in the British Isles Advocates Library BL Hereford Cathedral Newcastle NLS Oxford Trinity College Dublin and just three further elsewhere California State Harvard Texas and Yale. Provenance: Recently dispersed from the Cottlesloe Military Library 'probably the most extensive private collection of early printed books focused on military matters'. ESTC R200176 Thomason E.294 Wing L557. First edition. Quarto. Printed by M. B. for Robert Bostock unknown

Bagged for protection with a stiff backing board. 41 pages. illustrated endpages. Gilt cover title thin - no title printed on the spine. Only 9 copies of this book are shown on worldcat. This might be the only Autographed copy yet existent. George Brinton McClellan December 3 1826 – October 29 1885 was an American soldier civil engineer railroad executive and politician who served as the 24th Governor of New Jersey. A graduate of West Point McClellan served with distinction during the Mexican–American War 1846–1848 and later left the Army to work on railroads until the outbreak of the American Civil War 1861–1865. Early in the conflict McClellan was appointed to the rank of major general and played an important role in raising a well-trained and organized army which would become the Army of the Potomac in the Eastern Theater; he served a brief period November 1861 to March 1862 as general-in-chief of the Union Army. McClellan organized and led the Union army in the Peninsula Campaign in southeastern Virginia from March through July 1862. It was the first large-scale offensive in the Eastern Theater. Making an amphibious clockwise turning movement around the Confederate Army in northern Virginia McClellan's forces turned west to move up the Virginia Peninsula between the James and York Rivers landing from the Chesapeake Bay with the Confederate capital Richmond as their objective. Initially McClellan was somewhat successful against General Joseph E. Johnston but the emergence of General Robert E. Lee to command the Army of Northern Virginia turned the subsequent Seven Days Battles into a partial Union defeat. However historians note that Lee's victory was in many ways pyrrhic as he failed to destroy the Army of the Potomac and suffered a bloody repulse at Malvern Hill.

Hooper, William
Fifty Years Since: An Address Delivered Before the Alumni of the University of North Carolina on the 7th of June 1859 Being the Day Before the Annual Commencement. By One of the Society of Alumni
Raleigh: Holden & Wilson "Standard" Office 1859. First Edition First Printing . Soft cover. Very Good. 12mo. 50 pages. Soft cover bound in original brown printed wrappers. Moderate wear to the binding which has some stains spots on the front and rear wrappers. The binding is quite sound and sturdy. The text is clean. A nice copy in the original wrappers. There is a pencil signature at the top of the front cover ofe "I. A. Jarrett." We believe that this is Isaac Augustus Jarrett of Huntsville and Fayetteville North Carolina. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1861. In the Civil War he served as Captain of Company C 26th North Carolina Infantry Regiment. The pamphlet is housed in a removable plastic sleeve with a board backing. William Hooper 1792-1876 was a teacher and pastor from Hillsborough N.C. His father William Hooper Sr. was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The younger Hooper entered the University of North Carolina's prep school in 1804 and he received his B.A. in 1809 and his M.A. in 1812. He went on to study at Princeton. He had started tutoring at UNC in 1810 and he continued to teach in various capacities until 1837. In this pamphlet Hooper relates many memories of his early days in Chapel Hill and this was one of the sources liberally used by Kemp Plummer Battle in his history of the University. Rare First Edition. Much scarcer than the Confederate printing from a couple of years later. <br/> <br/> Holden & Wilson, "Standard" Office paperback
