1882Best.-Nr. 36689Maine 1882. 2 pp plus integral blank leaf. Old hinges from prior mounting on blank last page. Very Good. Writing to "Hon. F. Haines" Hamlin explains that he has "no time to look over files of letters to see what I can find that you would want." He's "very busy in getting our house in order." He will take a look when he finishes that task but advises "I have parted with all that I could spare of Prest. Lincoln and have none from Hayes." He promises to review his "many letters from such persons as you name but the difficulty will be in finding just such as I would deem proper to make public. But I will see what I can do. I do not think it necessary at all for you to come here. Yours truly H. Hamlin." Haines 1840-1925 was a successful businessman and developed an impressive side business in coins and other collectibles. The Library of Congress owns a few of the correspondence between the two men. Hamlin of course was Abraham Lincoln's first Vice President and an early Republican. He was dumped from the 1864 ticket in favor of Andrew Johnson. unknown

Except for the choice of matting Very Good. Vice President Hamlin's Letter suggests the impotence of his office. Writing from his home or law office in Hampden he appeals for help from his fellow Maine politician E.B. French. French had just completed his term in Congress; President Lincoln appointed him Second Auditor of the Treasury on August 3 1861. Hamlin is anxious to correct the bureaucratic snafu for which at least in part he seems to blame himself. These efforts would prove successful: Executive Proceedings of the Senate show J.C. Peterson's name on a list proposed by the Secretary of War for appointment as Captain of the Fifteenth Regiment of infantry as of August 5 1861; Lincoln officially nominated all those on the list on December 6 1861; and Peterson was among the appointees receiving the Senate's blessing. Executive Journal of the Senate 37th Congress 2d Session Dec. 12 1861. Originally a Democrat and a long-time political fixture in Maine Hamlin left his Party as an opponent of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. He was elected Maine's Republican Governor in 1857; in 1860 Lincoln picked him as his running mate in an effort to unite northern Unionists. John C. Peterson 1831-1867 a homeopathic physician and surgeon is listed in the 1850 Federal Census as a 19-years-old physician. He enlisted on April 15 1861; and served as Captain in the 15th U.S. Infantry Regiment from August 1861 to August 1864. By early 1863 he was attached to Gen.

1955Best.-Nr. 510872Casa M. Danesi 1955. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE. 'With a brief History of the Order of St. John from its Inception to the present Day.' SIGNED by the author on the limitation page copy number 457 of an edition limited to 2000 copies. liii 428pp. 2 foldout plans 50 tipped-in Color plates and 301 b/w plates on about 100 pages. Large 4to 12.5' x 8.75' sewn binding in red cloth gilt stamped spine lettering white stamped Maltese cross to front cover. Spine lightly bumped at tail otherwise exceedingly clean and fresh; with the scarce dust jacket showing some wear and dampstain to spine now wrapped in mylar. 'Exhaustive architectural monographs are few and seldom provided with adequate illustrations. This sumptuous volume is then a rarity describing not only the fabric of Malta's notable Co-Cathedral but also photographing every monument and giving the text of every inscription. This quality of completeness deserves the highest praise. A short introduction on the Order of Knights Hospitaller puts the church in its historical background and its architecture is then described by Mr. Raymond Judge and from notes by Dr. Quentin Hughes who regards the building in spite of its High Renaissance style and decora-tion as essentially an example of the Early Baroque based on the churches of the Counter Reformation and especially on the Ges. This brand new was seen by the Maltese architect Gerolamo Cassar who visited Rome in 56g and its lessons incarporated by him in St. John built in 1573-7. But the most outstanding feature is the slightly finted vault possibly founded on precedents in Khodes or Sicily though it seems to have a more immediate connexion with Juan de Herrera's archway in the front of Valladolid Cathedral a feature hitherto regarded as faulty construction: an explanation not tenable at Malta. Every chapel and each work of art is described and the abundant and well-produced colour and half-tone plates provide a most thorough record of the building its contents and its rich colour-decoration. It is devoutly to be wished that other great monuments of art will find historiographers as learned as patient and as munificent.' John H. Harvey review in Antiquaries Journal. Casa M.

Childrens book of Continental costumes printed in Leipzig at the turn of the 19th century. A rare illustrated work first published in 1796 plentiful in delicately hand-colored engravings of native peoples from around the world. This the second part was probably written solely by Karl Seidel a teacher at the Tochterschule Public Girls School in Dessau. This Gallery of People was designed as a picture book for young children not yet in their early childhood to expand their knowledge and satisfy their curiosity about faraway lands. The first part not included here included nations professions and items that were sorted in alphabetical order from Abbess Admiral Amazon and Armenians to Dwarf Gypsy and Wizard. The lives portrayed are wide ranging and include simpletons butchers slaves gardeners and fools. This second part organizes the peoples usually a man woman and native all with appropriate props by continents: Asians Africans Americans and Indians and Europeans. The illustrations for Native American peoples are of high interest not only for their expert work but for the range of tribes and geography even the Acadian peoples of Canada are represented.

1866Best.-Nr. 22863Lincoln's first vice president discusses local Maine politics regarding the replacement of a longstanding U.S. District Court Judge. HANNIBAL HAMLIN.Autograph Letter Signed to Sidney Perham Boston May 4 1866. 2 pp. 5 x 8 in. marked "Private" and docketed "H Hamlin." Complete Transcript May 4 1866 My Dear Sir I hear that Judge Ware has sent his resignation to Washington. It is also said that the appointment of a successor probably lies between Fox and Talbot Dist Atty. Now my preference is for Mr. Godfrey of Bangor. He is the man whom I would be glad to see appointed. But if it is to be either Fox or Talbot then it is clear to my mind that Talbot ought to be the man. He is a whole Republican. Fox never was but half a one at most. If it comes to that I hope yourself and Mr. Rice will aid Talbot in preference to Fox as I believe T. the most deserving man. Will you show this letter to Mr. Rice. I sympathise with you in this day of our political afflictions and rest assured the people will sustain you. Yours truly H Hamlin Hon S. Perham Sidney Perham 1819-1907 was a U.S. congressman from Maine 1863-1869 and Maine governor 1871-1874. Ashur Ware 1782-1873 was educated at Harvard and Bowdoin receiving his law degree from the latter institution. He practiced in Boston then moved Portland Maine. He edited the Eastern Argus1817-1820 which advocated separation from Massachusetts and when this was accomplished via the Missouri Compromise 1820 Ware was the new state's first secretary of state. In 1822 James Monroe nominated him for a judgeship in U.S. District Court for Maine. He resigned in 1866 after serving one of the longest tenures of any U.S. federal judge. George F. Talbot 1819-1907 graduated from Bowdoin and became an attorney in East Machias Maine. He was twice the Free Soil Party's nominee for governor 1849-1850 and attended the 1860 convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln for president. Lincoln in 1861 appointed him U.S. attorney for Maine presumably Hamlin is referring to the federal court district of Maine when he calls Talbot the "Dist Atty". Talbot was Solicitor of the Treasury 1876-1877. Hannibal Hamlin 1809-1891 served in the Maine state legislature before entering Congress in 1843 as a Democrat. In 1848 he was elected by the anti-slavery wing of the Democratic party to fill a vacancy in the Senate and served until 1857 when he resigned to become the Republican governor of Maine. In 1860 Hamlin was picked as Lincoln's running mate to "nationalize" the Republican party. Both Lincoln and Hamlin shared an opposition to the expansion of slavery. In 1864 Republican convention delegates replaced him on the ticket with Andrew Johnson the Union military governor of Tennessee. As a War Democrat and Southern Unionist Johnson provided strategic and symbolic power for the Republicans that Hamlin could not. The vice president would later observe that he had been "dragged out of the Senate against my wishes – tried to do my whole duty and was then unceremoniously 'whistled down the wind'" Hatfield 203-209. He later accepted a position as collector of the port of Boston returning to the Senate in 1869. From 1881-82 Hamlin was U.S. minister to Spain before devoting the remainder of his life to agricultural pursuits.
