‎DAILY JOURNAL EXTRA. WILMINGTON N.C. JULY 4 1862‎

‎Wilmington N.C. 1862. Broadside 15¼ x 11 inches printed in three columns. Moderate toning and foxing. Four- inch closed vertical tear at bottom edge no loss of paper. Very good. A Confederate newspaper extra reporting the failure of the Union's initial Peninsular campaign around Independence Day in 1862. From March to around the time of this newspaper extra General George McClellan launched an offensive campaign against northern Virginia which was intended to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. Facing a series of crafty Confederate generals including John B. Magruder Joseph E. Johnston J.E.B. Stuart Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee McClellan's tactics proved fruitless in capturing Richmond and he was eventually recalled by President Lincoln to prepare for the Second Battle of Bull Run the next month. This newspaper extra issued by the Wilmington North Carolina DAILY JOURNAL reports the "Yankees in Full Retreat" after receiving news from "a couple of free negroes" that McClellan's forces were headed north. There are also reports of deserters from McClellan's army being captured detailed passages on the path of the Union army's retreat and reports on the movements of other military units. In addition the text relates news on Confederate attempts to gain "early recognition of the Southern Confederacy" from European powers noting that Confederate diplomat John Slidell had "indicated the immediate prospect of recognition by the French Government." There are also passages covering Confederate wounded captured Union soldiers from the 7th Indiana the Confederate government's support "in comfortable quarters of some eleven hundred lazy runaway negroes" and more much of which is reported from other sources. No copies of this extra reported in OCLC. A rare Confederate newspaper extra recording mostly positive results for the Confederacy during a particularly good summer for the southern cause. unknown‎

‎Vicksburg Ms.: J.M. Swords Proprietor 1863. Folio broadside printed on wallpaper. Old folds closed tear in blank margin of one fold some spotting. Very good. The newspapers printed on wallpaper in Vicksburg during its siege were widely noted at the time and the Union troops who took possession of the city on July 4 completed and distributed the last issue standing in type. Numerous facsimile versions were published later. This is the first reproduction issue probably produced in the North as a commemoration later in 1863. Brigham identifies this as the first reproduction noting its minor variations from the original mainly the substitution of the article "Recent Federal Losses at Vicksburg" in the last column. Brigham details some twenty facsimile versions. Brigham "Wall-Paper Newspapers of the Civil War" in BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS FOR WILBERFORCE EAMES New York 1924 pp.203-9. J.M.

‎Impressa en la ciudad Imperial de Augusta i.e. Trier: con facultad de la Sacra Magestad del Emperador 1626. 16pp. Small folio. Dbd. Contemporary manuscript docketing on p.16 and contemporary ink underscoring on p.7. Some loss repaired in silk from chipping at gutter and from worming in several leaves the latter affecting some text but not exceeding 1 x 1 inch in area. Closed tears in final leaf repaired with very early paper on verso. Light staining and foxing. Overall very good. The original Spanish translation of an important invective against Louis XIII during the first phase of France's involvement in the Thirty Years' War. At the time of this publication in 1626 France had actively begun to support the Protestant side in the conflict concerned with the political threat of the Hapsburg states that surrounded it on three sides in Spain and Spanish-controlled Flanders to the south and north and the Holy Roman Empire in Germany to the East. In 1624 Cardinal Richelieu was appointed to the Royal Council of Louis XIII and immediately began to institute a vigorous anti-Hapsburg policy. The following year France joined England in subsidizing the efforts of Christian IV of Denmark to defend Lower Saxony against the Holy Roman Empire beginning an involvement in the war that would eventually lead to its own military participation against its fellow Catholic powers. <br> <br> The present document is a long and detailed warning to Louis XIII against pursuing a course of actions that would pit France against the rest of the Catholic world. According to the document itself the text was first composed in French and subsequently translated into Latin and thence into Castilian Spanish. It immediately occasioned a number of responses and refutations and its anonymous authorship soon became the subject of a 200-year-long debate. In his exhaustive and authoritative bibliography on the Jesuits BIBLIOTHÈQUE DE LA COMPAGNIE DE JÉSUS Augustin de Backer seems to have put the question of authorship to rest attributing it to the German Jesuit Jacob Keller. Keller 1568-1631 was a German scholar and controversialist widely regarded as a genius and best known for a counter- Calvinist tract on Tyrannicide and a celebrated defense of the Papacy in a debate with Lutheran theologian Jacob Heilbrunner. Backer lists both the French and Latin versions of the EXHORTATION. and refers to a German translation but he omits any mention of the present Spanish version. He also describes the document as having been printed in Italy which may result from confusion regarding the city name of Augusta. While Augusta Syracuse was under anti- French Spanish control in 1626 and may thus be a candidate for the printing location all other signs and context point to Trier "Augusta Treverorum" in Latin including the publisher's imprint which calls Augusta an "imperial city" and declares permission for publication from the Holy Roman Emperor. <br> <br> An extremely interesting and rare document anticipating the violent wars between France and the rest of Catholic Europe of the following decade and offering a view of the French-Hapsburg rivalry from the Austro- German Hapsburg perspective and translated for the Spanish Hapsburg audience. One copy is held at the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana Benjamín Carrión in Quito; OCLC lists one additional copy at the New York Public Library.
