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. This type of book departs from the common ABC books as the pictures and text have a social studies meaning. Rarely found only two copies located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Princetons Cotsen Library. Friedrich August Leo hardcover books

1866rif. 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.

1885rif. 2007Philadelphia: S.n. 1885. Leather over boards. Oblong duodecimo. 54 leaves. Near fine. Leather over thin board with gilt-stamped upper board. Professionally restored with about half of the original gilt-ornamented spine retained. Wesson's name card laid down on front pastedown. A fantastic and eclectic trove of 19th century autographs collected by one Edward Wesson apparently associated with the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia. The autographs range from military figures to actors and actresses singers diplomats explorers and more. Some of the most notable figures whose autographs appear here include Ulysses S. Grant Edwin Booth William Tecumseh Sherman P. T. Barnum King David KalÄkaua of Hawaii Henry Ward Beecher David Ross Locke aka 'Petroleum V. Nasby' and Hannibal Hamlin Vice-President under Abraham Lincoln. There are also autographs from survivors of the tragic Jeanette Expedition to the Arctic including John W. Danenhower Louis P. Noros William F. C. Nindemann and George W. Melville. Among the other entertainment figures of the day to sign Mr. Wesson's album were actresses Maggie Mitchell and Emma Abbott and several others. Of the 54 leaves only 5 are blank on both sides with the remaining 49 having autographs on one or both sides and one autograph on the recto of rear free endpaper for a total of 57 autographs in all. The album originated at Philadelphia's Continental Hotel one of the grandest and most socially prominent establishments of the 19th century. Opened in 1860 and famed for hosting presidents generals and celebrities-including Abraham Lincoln who stayed there en route to his 1861 inauguration-the Continental stood as a national landmark until its 1924 demolition to make way for the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. Apart from a single tipped‑in signature from a Mayor of Mt. Vernon NY every autograph in this volume is penned directly onto its original pages. This is of vital significance because unlike albums assembled from clipped signatures from various sources this is a continuous artifact: the very book that moved through the hands of each signer. To hold it now is to experience that unique connection with each of the historical figures who once inscribed it. A truly remarkable artifact. (S.n.) unknown
