With Westley's binder's ticket on rear paste-down. Mackenzie's version of the German mediaeval classic was first published in 1860 as a Christmas volume, but stocks were swiftly exhausted and a second edition prepared to meet continuing demand. Mackenzie produced a lengthy additional preface to this second edition, attributing the success of the venture partly to 'the generous and unanimous verdict of the press' but also, surely, to the wonderful illustrations by 'Alfred Crowquill' (A.H. Forrester). Many would-be Christmas readers must have been disappointed for Mazkenzie dates his preface Christmas Eve, but scholars of mediaeval romance and fantasy will find this a most useful edition replete with extensive historical preface and bibliographical and other scholarly appendices. The US edition (T&F of Boston) of the same year is the first American edition of the tale in English. Scarce.

1865rif. 21498Lincoln The Martyr of Liberty. United States: No publication information 1865 Lithograph black and white. Image and text 30 x 21 cm on sheet 35 x 24 cm. Light edge toning and corner rounding else very good. OCLC shows 5 holdings AAS; Univ. Ill.; Folger Shakespeare Lib.; Natl. Def. Univ. & Lib. of Congress. Rare Book Hub shows 2 auction records since 1921. A striking and well done image: Lincoln has just been shot; John Wilkes Booth's gun is still smoking. Henry Rathbone and Mary Todd Lincoln are sitting on either side Lincoln with Clara Harris next to Mrs. Lincoln. Below the images is a quote from Macbeth from his "vaulting ambition" soliloquy in Act 1 Scene 7 Lines 17-20: with "This Duncan" changed to "This Lincoln." Caption: "This Lincoln / Hath borne his faculties so meek; has been / so clear in his great office; that his virtues / shall plead tramped-tongued against / the deep damnation of his taking off." "After Lincoln's assassination the nation fell into a deep mourning. Broadsides such as this one were a form of mass media in the 19th century … Lincoln was known to keep a copy of Macbeth in his back pocket as he rode from town to town working as a young lawyer and was said to quote it frequently. … These lines are from a scene where Macbeth is lauding King Duncan a man he plans to murder for being so virtuous a ruler that his legacy would speak for him after death. The American public quickly made the connection between the two assassinations and used Shakespeare's words to express their bereavement for their own leader who was unjustly struck down. …."
