Bound in at the end the last 20 pages are: 1 - A. Bosse au lecteur sur les causes qu'il croit avoir euës de discontinuer le cours de ses leçons geometrales et perspectives dedans l'Academie Royale de la Peinture et de la Sculpture & mesme de s'en retirer. Paris A. Bosse 1667. 15pp. And: 2 - Discours tendant a desabuser ceux qui ont creu que l'Auteur d'un Traité qui a pour Titre Entretiens sur les vies et sur les ouvrages des plus excellens peintres anciens et modernes; avoit pretendu m'attaquer dans sa Préface. Paris A. Bosse 1667. 4pp. This scarce book is written in the form of a dialogue between Ariste an amateur who would like to build an architect a painter a "disciple" and the author himself. All the representatives of these different arts are asking for Bosse's advice. This allows Bosse to express once again his ideas regarding perspective in painting and architecture. Abraham Bosse who was born in Tours in 1602 is best known as an engraver but he was also the first professor of perspective at the newly founded Académie Royale from 1648 to 1661 when he was forced to leave due to disagreements with other Académicians. The two addresses that follow the book explain why in Bosse's own opinion he had been forced to leave his lob at the Académie and they also respond to comments made about Bosse by Félibien in the preface to the first part of the latter's Entretiens published a year earlier. c.f.

1863réf. 22448.01New York N.Y. 1863. No binding. Fine. New York Journal of Commerce. Newspaper. New York Journal of Commerce. New York N.Y. January 3 1863. 4 pp. 24 x 32 1/2 in. An early report of the Emancipation Proclamation where the editors describe Lincoln's bold move as ""a farce coming in after a long tragedy.Most of the people regard it as a very foolish piece of business."" Historical BackgroundThe Emancipation Proclamation was the single most important act of Lincoln's presidency. Its text reveals the major themes of the Civil War: the importance of slavery to the war effort on both sides; the courting of border states; Lincoln's hopes that the rebellious states could somehow be convinced to reenter the Union; the role of black soldiers; Constitutional and popular constraints on emancipation; the place of African Americans in the United States and America's place in a worldwide movement toward the abolition of slavery. In sounding the death knell for slavery and the ""Slave power"" the President took a decisive stand on the most contentious issue in American history and the United States joined other western nations in embracing a future of free labor.In addition to the moral impact of this ""sincerely believed.act of justice"" the Proclamation aided the Union cause tangibly and decisively. Because it focused on territory still held by the Confederacy only small numbers of slaves compared to the total slave population were immediately freed. However the Proclamation deprived the South of essential labor by giving all slaves a reason to escape to Union lines. Failing that it freed slaves immediately upon the Union Army's occupation of Confederate territory. The Proclamation also encouraged the enlistment of black soldiers who made a crucial contribution to the Union war effort. Moreover England and France who had already abolished slavery were restrained from supporting the Confederacy which would have been in their own economic interests. Lincoln summed up the Proclamation's importance in 1864: ""no human power can subdue this rebellion without using the Emancipation lever as I have done.""Nonetheless the editors of the Journal of Commerce disagreed and their opinion reflects the truly controversial nature of the act for many contemporary Americans.

1866réf. 1009808vo one sheet printed on both sides. Even toning and aging small closed tear to the upper margin; otherwise very good. This is a rather scarce government document that informs the military that the "Thirteenth Amendment" has passed and slavery is officially abolished. Article XIII states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This document is signed in type by William H. Seward 1801-1872 as the Secretary of State. Congress would follow with a Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give African Americans the same rights as all citizens but this small printed document presenting the essence of the "Thirteenth Amendment" is an important piece of history.

1928réf. 151527Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company 1928. First edition of this complex and revealing biography of one of the most popular Presidents of the United States. Octavo two volumes bound in three quarter morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands marbled endpapers top edge gilt illustrated tissue-guarded frontispiece to each volume. In near fine condition bookplate to each pastedown. Praised for his biographies of Chief Justice John Marshall and President Abraham Lincoln American historian and United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge has introduced the public to the realities of the lives of revered historical figures. Using analysis and thorough investigation Beveridge was able to contextualize the actions of America's sixteenth president with his traditions and influences in his four-volume biography 'Abraham Lincoln 1809-1858' published post-humously in 1928. His contributions to historical study cannot be understated and the American Historical Association's Beveridge Award exists to demonstrate as much. Houghton Mifflin Company unknown
