First edition Monaghan's first issue. 1 2-15 1pp. Lincoln's speech comprises pages 1-11 out of a total of 16 pages. With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on rear wrapper. 8vo. This address made at the Cooper Institute in New York on February 27 1860 catapulted Lincoln into the public eye and made him a viable presidential candidate. Indeed many historians have considered it the key to his success in the 1860 election and it is probably the most important speech Lincoln made after the Gettysburg Address and his inaugural addresses. The Cooper Union address was months in preparation; Lincoln was fully aware of its importance in moving himself from a regional favorite son to a viable national candidate. In the event some 1500 people including many prominent political figures attended on a snowy new York evening. The speech divides into three major parts. In the first Lincoln addressed the spread of slavery arguing that the framers of the constitution had been opposed to it and that the Federal government could regulate the question. In the second he argued that the Republicans were not a sectional Northern party and attacked the threats of southern Democrats to secede if the Republicans should win the election. Finally he addressed his fellow Republicans calling on them to act carefully and do "nothing through passion and ill temper.Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it." The Cooper Union speech was a resounding success. Horace Greeley described it as "one of the happiest and most convincing political arguments ever made in this City. No man ever made such an impression on his first appeal to a New York audience." Greeley quickly issued the speech in the form of this "Tribune Tract." It includes a final page of advertisements for other Tribune publications. The speech was later widely reprinted and made Lincoln nationally famous. This printing differs from other editions by its inclusion of a speech by James Doolittle Senator from Wisconsin and the message of Samuel Medary Democratic governor of the Kansas Territory vetoing the Kansas abolition bill. "The Cooper Union address tested whether Lincoln's appeal could extend from the podium to the page and from the rollicking campaigns of the rural West to the urban East. Cooper Union held the promise of transforming Lincoln from a regional phenomenon to a national figure. Lincoln knew it and rose to the occasion" Harold Holzer Lincoln at the Copper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President. Monaghan 50 Office of the New York Tribune unknown

Lincoln began drafting his first inaugural in Springfield soon after his election hoping the speech would impart a spirit of reconciliation toward the seceded states. His speech balances his pledge to protect Federal property in the south while insisting that he would not use military force unless attacked first. In all he eloquently argues against secession presenting the United States as undissolvable. Lincoln ends his speech with the memorable lines: "We are not enemies but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory stretching from every battle-field and patriot grave to every living heart and hearth-stone all over this broad land will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature." "Lincoln became President on March 4 1861. Before being sworn in he gave his First Inaugural Address devoting it entirely to the secession crisis. It was the linguistic equivalent of an optical illusion: one could view it two ways. As historians have noted he seemed to placate the South; he would not 'interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists.' This language was the old Lincoln . The new Lincoln was a resolute executive who had no choice but to enforce the Constitution a contract that does not allow states to withdraw from it unilaterally. In his enforcement there would be no bloodshed 'unless it be forced upon the national authority" Mazy Boroujerdi editor Abraham Lincoln: His Life in Print p. 108. Lincoln had begun writing his inaugural the month prior before leaving Springfield and once in Washington asked William Seward to review the draft. It was Seward who suggested softening the tone so as not to appear too inflammatory suggesting "a nostalgic call for unity emphasizing the country's shared history. Lincoln embraced the idea but massaged it into near poetry. Seward's prosaic text ended up as Lincoln's oft quoted appeals to the 'mystic chords of memory' and 'the better angels of our nature.' The words did nothing to reverse disunion" Ibid. p. 97. This is the official government printing of Lincoln's first inaugural address issued as a document of a special session of the Senate printed by their order four days after its delivery being only the second printing overall of the memorable speech.

The Departure - Second Class" and "The Return - First Class" are a pair of moralistic narrative works a popular genre in Victorian times and demonstrate the growing trend towards emigration particularly to Australia. The Victorian artist Abraham Solomon depicts a family traveling second class to a port where the young boy will go to sea in "The Departure". In "The Return" the boy returns as a successful middle aged squatter in the first class carriage with his son and daughter. Both paintings by Solomon are held in the National Railway Museum UK . Of "The Departure" they write "The painting is a contemporary image of rail travel showing the discomfort of the lower classes traveling in a draughty bench-seated second class carriage. Despite their discomfort this shows how the railways opened up travel to the less wealthy as well as those with money. It also shows how the industry allowed travel nationally and internationally with the posters in the background advertising passage to Australia highlighting the growing trend of emigration.

Published by Dr. Efraim Bueno and Jona Abravanel to serve members of the then sizable Sephardic Jewish community in Amsterdam. A significant portion of the community were former Conversos Jews who had outwardly converted to Catholicism during the inquisition in Spain who then emmigrated and were able to reestablish their Jewish identity and thus were unable to read Hebrew hence the text's publication in Spanish. As stated in the foreword this edition includes some additions to the text not included in previous versions and omits some material deemed to have been unnecessary. The prayer book starts with the penitential prayers Selichot p.3-47 which includes decorative head and endpeices.

He received his medical education and degree in Bordeaux and was known to have practiced medicine in Amsterdam until the time of his death. In addition to his medical practice Bueno was an accomplished biblical scholar who along with Jona Abravanel published numerous Jewish works the on the bible and Jewish Law. Jona Abravanel 1593-1667 was a Sephardic Jewish poet in Amsterdam from the prominent Abravanel family. He was the nephew of Famed Portueguse-Dutch Rabbi and printer Menasseh ben Israel.

ref. 91MGUB7YLZSDNetherlands 1740. Mounted in passepartout. A view in brown ink with light and dark grey watercolour washes on laid paper 16.5 x 21.5 cm with a manuscript caption at the head. Attractive view in brown ink with grey washes of the picturesque Kostverloren manor on the Amstel River just outside Amsterdam. The manor was originally built at the end of the 15th century. In 1650 it was severely damaged by fire but it was soon restored. In 1822 Kostverloren was razed. The manor was famously depicted by Rembrandt Ruisdael and also by Abraham Rademaker 1676/77-1735 one of the most important topographic artists of his day. Rademakers drawing closely matches the present view in style and shows the exact same scene from the trees on the left to the smaller house on the right. The only difference is the season: the trees depicted here are much fuller.Slightly foxed but otherwise in good condition.l Cf.

With 10 finely engraved scenes on the horrors of war on 8 folding/double-page plates. Further with a woodcut device on the title page and a woodcut tailpiece on the final page. First edition of a famous Dutch history book vividly describing and depicting the cruelties of war committed by the French army of Louis XIV in The Netherlands in the years 1672 and 1673. The illustrations also rank among the best masterpieces of Baroque book-illustration. By their passionate denunciation of the horrors of war Romeyn de Hooghe's illustrations stand comparison with Goya's Desastres de la Guerra. Thieme & Becker calls the artist "the most important and fertile master of the second half of the 17th century in Holland". And Furstenberg judged the present print-series "One of the few and too-little known masterpieces of the period" The Book Collector 1960 p. 432.'The text includes a detailed account of the cruelties committed by the French army of Louis XIV in the Dutch villages of Bodegraven and Swammerdam. The work was published anonymously because the author Abraham de Wicqefort 1598-1682 a diplomat and politician was well-known in Paris and at the French court. He also wrote an excellent manual for ambassadors L'Ambassadeur ses fonctions published in The Hague in 1682. The present work became popular in The Netherlands and was several times republished in Dutch with the plates reduced.With a manuscript note on the recto of the final flyleaf.

1863ref. 149486Washington: Government Printing Office January 2 1863. Rare first War Department and fifth overall printing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Twelvemo General Orders No. 1 extracted from the larger volume of orders for 1863 4 pages disbound. President Lincoln had intended to issue the order earlier in 1862 but deliberately delayed its release until after the Union's strategic victory at Antietam at which point he announced the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. General Order No. 139 September 22 1862 which declared that all slaves held in rebelling states would be forever free from the first day of January 1863. The text of the final Emancipation Proclamation present in this order is noted for its direct and decisive language: "By the President of the United States of America . That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then thenceforward and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States including the military and naval authority thereof will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons and will do no act or acts to repress such persons or any of them in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom." The first printing for the War Department of General Orders No. 1 was distributed to various military outposts and bureaus throughout the United States. Based on the extensive research of Charles Eberstadt the copy for the War Department was the fifth time the final version of the Emancipation Proclamation appeared in print on January of 1863 following three hastily prepared issues for the State Department and another for Lincoln's hometown Illinois States Journal newspaper in Springfield Illinois. A copy of the War Department Printing was included in the Grolier Club's One Hundred Influential American Books Printed before 1900. Eberstadt 12; Grolier Club One Hundred Influential American Books 71; Streeter 1751. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco case. A scarce work. The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1 1863 represented a pivotal moment in the trajectory of the American Civil War and the broader struggle over the institution of slavery. Although it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals the proclamation declared that all persons held as slaves in states or parts of states still in rebellion against the United States were to be henceforth free. This executive order grounded in Lincoln's war powers as commander-in-chief was intended primarily as a military measure to weaken the Confederacy by undermining its labor force and discouraging foreign powers from recognizing or supporting the secessionist cause. The proclamation also signaled a significant shift in Union war aims reframing the conflict from a struggle solely to preserve the Union to one explicitly linked to the abolition of slavery. While its immediate legal impact was limited to areas outside Union control the Emancipation Proclamation laid the groundwork for the eventual passage of the Thirteenth Amendment which formally abolished slavery throughout the United States.

Dazu aufgeführt auch die Namen Geburtsjahre und Geburtsorten von Rumänen. In deutscher und englischer Sprache. - Umschlag und Rücken mit Fehlstellen und etwas fleckig die letzten zwei Blätter mit kleinen randlichen Fehlstellen KEIN Textverlust gering wellig. --- Sharit Ha-Platah auf Deutsch Holocaust-Überlebende oder wörtlich Der Rest der Überlebenden wurde veröffentlicht als eine umfassende Liste von Überlebenden der Nazi-Tyrannei. Deborah Dwork schreibt über die Entstehungsgeschichte: Der Titel Sharit Ha-Platah der gerettete Rest verweist auf eine Wendung im Buch der Chronik des Tanach mit der die Überlebenden der Zerstörung des Königreiches Israel durch die Assyrer bezeichnet werden. Frei übersetzt bedeutet er so viel wie "Überlebende des Holocaust". Die Erstellung dieser umfangreichen aber unvollständigen Liste von Überlebenden war eine Idee des amerikanisch-jüdischen Militärseelsorgers Abraham Klausner als dieser im gerade befreiten Konzentrationslager Dachau dessen vielfältige Bevölkerung sah unter der sich auch eine erhebliche Zahl an Juden und auch wenige Jüdinnen befanden. Das Projekt erstreckte sich schnell auf die DP-Lager in ganz Bayern und wurde durch Überlebendenlisten aus anderen Orten ergänzt. Zwischen Mai und Oktober 1945 wurden fünf Bände veröffentlicht. Im Zuge ihrer Veröffentlichung wurden laufend weitere Listen erstellt. Das Zentralkomitee der befreiten Juden in der amerikanischen Zone veröffentlichte Anfang 1946 in München einen umfangreichen sechsten Band mit Ergänzungen. Die US-amerikanische Armee hatte die Bedeutung dieser Veröffentlichung erkannt denn sie besorgte den Druck auf eigenen Buchpressen und auf eigene Kosten. Nachdem zuerst die Kommunikationswege abgeschnitten und dann Menschen in riesigen Zahlen deportiert worden waren gefolgt schließlich von Nachrichten über Massenmorde waren Millionen Menschen auf der Suche nach ihren Familien und Freunden. Wo waren sie Was war ihnen zugestoßen Die Überlebenden in Europa erschlossen sich eigene Kommunikationswege um so schnell wie möglich Angehörige ausfindig zu machen oder von diesen gefunden zu werden. Dabei wählte jede und jeder für sich eine jeweils eigene Vorgehensweise und stellte seine oder ihre Fähigkeit zum eigenständigen Handeln unter Beweis. Viele tausende Überlebende warteten nicht darauf dass eine Organisation tätig wurde und unternahmen im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten selbst Schritte um eine Zusammenführung zu erreichen. Das Büro des gerade gegründete Zentralkomitees der befreiten Juden in Bayern das sich im ausgebombten Deutschen Museum eingerichtet hatte bot bald den Rahmen für diese Tätigkeiten. Da dort viel Betrieb herrschte war es nur folgerichtig dort nach Informationen zu suchen. "Eines Tages kam ein Jude an diesen Ort der nasskalten Flure an dem das Komitee seine Arbeit aufgenommen hatte und schrieb seinen Namen auf die weiße Wand" erinnerte sich der amerikanische Militärseelsorger Abraham Klausner. "Vier Monate später war die Wand schwarz vollgeschrieben mit den Namen derer die auf der Suche nach ihren Männern oder Frauen hier durchgekommen waren." Zu diesem Zeitpunkt - im Sommer 1945 - machte sich niemand mehr Hoffnung Kinder finden zu können. Klausner war in Memphis geboren worden und war am Hebrew Union College zum Rabbiner ordiniert worden. Er war 30 Jahre alt als er zu einem einmonatigen Sondereinsatz mit dem "116th Evacuation Hospital" einem mobilen Krankenhaus in das am 29. April 1945 gerade befreite Konzentrationslager Dachau entsandt wurde. Seinem Vorgesetzten war völlig klar dass die geringe Anzahl jüdischer Soldaten in dieser Einheit bei weitem nicht den Einsatz eines Rabbiners rechtfertigen konnte. Er ging aber davon aus dass sich unter den Überlebenden in Dachau Juden befinden würden sodass Klausners Dienste gebraucht würden. Wie groß diese Dienste Klausners sein würden davon hatte er allerdings keine Vorstellung. Das mobile Krankenhaus versorgte die Kranken in Dachau an und zog danach weiter. Ohne Klausner. Der war so formulierte es sein Kollege der Militärseelsorger Abraham Hyman zu einem "herumreisender Rabbiner in Uniform geworden der sich irgendwie selbst eine Ausnahme von den Armeevorschriften genehmigt hatte und niemandem mehr Rechenschaft schuldete außer sich selbst". Aus Sicht Klausners waren die Bemühungen der Überlebenden ihre Verwandten ausfindig zu machen von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Zurückerlangung ihrer Identität. "Wird nicht ein jeder von uns erst durch seine Beziehungen zu Eltern Familie und Land er selbst" Diese Verbindungen seien gleichsam Fäden "die sie die Überlebenden zurück in die ihnen einst vertraute Realität einweben würden". Klausner hatte seine Aufgabe gefunden. Umgehend begann er sein Vorhaben eine Liste der Überlebenden zu erstellen. "Ich schlug vor dass wir als erste Reaktion auf die Befreiung feststellen sollten wer am Leben war dass wir eine Zählung vornehmen sollten derer die in Dachau waren und sie in einer Liste nach Name Alter und Geburtsort führen sollten" erinnerte er sich. Er stellte Papier Bleistifte und Schreibmaschinen zusammen und brachte alles zu den Bewohnern des DP-Lagers. Sie sollten so seine Bitte gemeinsam mit ihm an der Erstellung eines umfassenden Verzeichnisses der jüdischen Überlebenden in Dachau mitwirken: Name Geburtsjahr letzter Wohnsitz derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort. Die amerikanische Armee verwandelte Dachau schon bald in ein Internierungslager für Kriegsverbrecher in dem höherrangige Mitglieder der SS der NSDAP und der deutschen Armee festgehalten wurden. Die verbleibenden früheren KZ-Gefangenen wurden an andere Orte gebracht. Klausner zog nach Feldafing um. Dorthin ließ er sich die von den in den bayerischen DP-Lagern untergebrachten Holocaust-Überlebenden erstellten Listen senden. Die Angaben wurden dort von ihren Glaubensbrüdern in das alphabetisch geführte Verzeichnis übernommen. Klausner wurde die ganze Bedeutung dieser Listen bewusst als er in einem aus einer einzigen Baracke bestehenden DP-Lager am Brennerpass auf eine Gruppe jüdischer Frauen aus Ungarn traf. Als er ihnen eine Abschrift anbot "fielen sie über die Blätter her und suchten jammernd und weinend nach einem Namen der für sie eine Verbindung zu den Lebenden schaffen würde." Eindeutig mussten die Listen veröffentlicht und verteilt werden. Klausner machte umgehend einen Drucker ausfindig und bestellte tausend Exemplare obwohl es verboten war für andere als militärische Zwecke zu drucken. Für das veröffentlichte Verzeichnis wählte er den Namen Sharit Ha-Platah aus "der gerettete Rest". Mit diesem Begriff bezeichnete sich das Zentralkomitee der befreiten Juden in der amerikanischen Besatzungszone selbst. Für den Rest der Welt waren sie jüdische Überlebende DPs oder Flüchtlinge. Aber sie selbst sahen sich als Sherit Hapleita als diejenigen die Leid und Verlust biblischen Ausmaßes erlitten hatten wie in Klausners Verzeichnissen unterstrichen wurde. "Diese Seiten enthalten einen Teil der Namen des Überrestes des Volkes Israel der über die DP-Lager in Bayern verteilt ist" erläuterte Klausner im Vorwort des ersten im Juli 1945 veröffentlichten Bandes. "Schnelligkeit war bei der Erstellung wichtiger als Genauigkeit. Daher sind die Listen nicht systematisiert" machte er deutlich und erläuterte weiter: "Zum größten Teil sind sie alphabetisch nach Lager und nach Abteilung im jeweiligen Lager sortiert". Des Weiteren wies er darauf hin dass "diese Liste nur die Region Bayern abdeckt". Am wichtigsten allerdings: es waren weitere Bände in Vorbereitung. Der zweite Band wurde am 20. Juli veröffentlicht und der dritte am 1. August. Es folgten die Bände 4 und 5. Diese Bände waren bald so hoch anerkannt dass die US-amerikanische Armee Klausners zusammengefasste Ausgabe mit sämtlichen in den Bänden 1 bis 5 enthaltenen Namen - insgesamt 30.000 - im Dezember 1945 veröffentlichte.

By the eighteenth century numerous country villas had been built along the Overtoom one of the main canal's linking Amsterdam with river Schinkel as well as pleasure gardens and numerous ale houses and shops.

With an engraved title page signed by P.Serwouter scul. bottom right after D.Vinck Boons bottom left 23 full page maps several decorated woodcut initials and woodcut tailpieces. 7 "305" =294 2 1 blank pp. Rare first edition of one of the first atlases of the Low Countries with 23 very detailed maps. It is the only atlas published by the mapmaker Abraham Goos himself. At the time the present atlas was published the Seven United provinces The Northern Netherlands were still together with the 10 provinces of the Spanish or Habsburg Low Countries. The atlas includes two maps of the Low Countries as a whole one map of each of the seventeen provinces except Drenthe which is included in the map of Overijssel four additional maps of Holland and one additional map of Brabant. Gooss maps were also used for the Atlas Minor published by Johannes Janssonius in 1628.The maps are elegantly designed with decorative title cartouches finely engraved and set in a decorative oval rectangular frame while the corners are decorated in a Renaissance style. The work was reprinted by Janssonius in 1625 and Doncker in 1685. Only the first edition was printed by Goos himself. Koeman recognizes only one Goos issue but Van der Krogt's reissue of Koeman's Atlantes Nederlandici distinguishes two of which ours is the second. The two issues are nearly identical but the second can be recognised by the imprint which includes Goos's new address "inde Kalverstraet" and the addition of the text "cum privilegio" to the maps which Goos added after receiving his privilege for this atlas on 24 December 1615 and an honorarium of 120 guilders from the States General on 8 January 1616. Generally 20 of the 23 maps of the second issue have this addition but in the present copy it is 17: the text is not present on maps 3-5 8 and 11-12.The text was written by the poet and translator Reinier Telle 1559-1618 who based it mainly on Ludovicos Guicciardinis Beschrijvinghe van alle de Nederlanden translated by Telle in 1613. Telles text was in turn the main source for the text in De Vyerighe Colom; finally that text was again used for a new edition of Guicciardinis work published by Jacob van Meurs in 1660.Abraham Goos ca. 1590-before 1643 was born in Antwerp as the son of Margaretha van den Keere the sister of the famous mapmaker Hendrik van den Keere. In 1600 Goos moved to Amsterdam where he soon was employed and trained by the Hondius family and by Willem Jansz. Blaeu. He had his own shop named "In t vergulde Caertboeck" first located op den Dam later around 1615 in the Kalverstraat. Pieter Goos Abrahams son later became famous for his sea atlases and pilot guides.With an erased ownerships entry at the head of the half-title and 18th-century annotations on pp. 136-138.
