Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 was a prominent Flemish cartographer geographer and cosmographer renowned for creating the first modern atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which first appeared in 1570 and expanded over time to include 134 maps by 1592. Born in Antwerp he began his career as a map colorist and became a significant figure in cartography after being influenced by Gerard Mercator. His work was pivotal in the development of modern cartography integrating maps from various sources and reflecting his advanced geographical theories including early thoughts on continental drift. Appointed Royal Cartographer to King Philip II of Spain in 1575 Ortelius had access to extensive Spanish geographical knowledge. Despite the religious and political turmoil of his time he maintained a position of relative neutrality focusing on his scholarly and cartographic pursuits. His influential works also included "Synonymia Geographica" "Nomenclator Ptolemaicus" and "Parergon. Abraham Ortelius unknown books

[Civil War]: [Abraham Lincoln]ABAA

Extracts from Letters to Various Persons of Distinction. From the Period Immediately Succeeding the Nomination of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency in 1860 Onward to March 4 1863; Having Reference Principally to the Rebellion and the Conduct of the War

1863rif. 13393N.p.: Printed Not Published 1863. 48pp. Modern crimson wrappers. Large dampstain throughout first half of text text toned thereafter. Marginal pencil markings throughout including one notice of transposed lines on page 9. Overall good plus condition. A rare collection of letters by an anonymous author mostly sent to President Abraham Lincoln but also to Secretary of State William Seward Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase and other officials between October 25 1860 and February 19 1863. The author is a Unionist and a self-described "citizen" not a soldier though he has plenty to recommend to President Lincoln and others about how to prosecute the present war. He also refers to himself as "a cool observer outside the stifling atmosphere of Washington" though again he wastes no time in recommending actions and strategies for political and military improvements. The author was most certainly a political actor of some kind as he writes intimately and on friendly terms with Lincoln and others "You know my personal regard for you" to John J. Crittenden in early 1861. He writes long letters to his correspondents about a decidedly wide variety of issues including the future of slavery political intrigue the dissatisfaction of the public early in the war and more but mostly about troop levels troop movements officer appointments and other aspects and critiques of war strategy. A notable angle of the work is that the author's side of the correspondence and likely some of the return correspondence he mentions within the letters are possibly lost to history other than their presence here. The imprint reads simply "Printed Not Published" and does not include a place or date of publication. We have assumed the date of 1863 given the introductory note is dated March 8 1863. OCLC reports just six copies at Columbia the Huntington Library Harvard Brown the University of Chicago and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. Printed, Not Published unknown books

Folder very good minus with light edge wear and scuffing; remnant of penciled price to cover sheet else internally fresh with a few handwritten amendments. This is a rare and thrilling firsthand account of a soldier's experience in the Civil War transcribed by his sister's husband 30 years later from the "original copy removed from drowned body of Thomas Banta." Per the present cover page Abraham Thomas Banta was born in 1839 and "quit Bloomington University in Indiana to go to War." He died there in July 1863 "four months short of his twenty-fourth birthday." Banta's diary begins at Camp Zion Tennessee in January 1863 and soon sets the tone of his spirit: "God forbid that this war should continue any longer for it is the most degrading and demoralizing thing upon the people that ever disgraced God Almighty's green earth." Entries cover the weather general morale "portion of our boys on a high" tasks like horseshoeing guard duty and orders: "On drill as usual . . . We were ordered out here to hold the Yanks in check as they made Duke's regiment skedaddle and killed Col. Hutchison. The saddles are on our horses. The men are stretched around asleep; neither men nor horses have had anything to eat since morning . . . We may have to mount our horses at any moment."

Douglas during the 1858 Illinois Senate campaign a pivotal series of political confrontations over slavery and the future of the United States. The debates addressed the expansion of slavery into western territories and the constitutional implications of the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision. Lincoln used the campaign to articulate a moral and political critique of slavery's expansion including the position he expressed in his earlier convention speech that "a house divided against itself cannot stand." Although Lincoln lost the Senate race to Douglas the debates established him as a leading national figure within the Republican Party and played a major role in shaping the political arguments that led to his presidential election in 1860.

Apparently the only separate newspaper edition of the final proclamation and the earliest non-official edition. Printed on Friday evening January 2 1863 this Extra in point of chronological sequence was preceded only by the first official edition." Our present copy although not a separate newspaper edition was rushed to press and published in the Friday Morning edition of the Courier placing it's publication prior to Eberstadt 9.

Emancipation Proclamation

1862rif. 68870New York: The New York Herald 1862. Full Description: LINCOLN Abraham. Emancipation Proclamation."A Proclamation by the President of the United States. Operations of the Confiscation Act. All Slaves in States in Rebellion January 1 1863 to Be Free." New York. Published in: The New York Herald Tuesday September 23 1862. Whole No. 9506. The publication of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in James Gordon Bennett's pro-Democratic New York Herald and one of if not the first official public announcements of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. Broadsheet folio one large leaf folded along top to make four pages two leaves printed on recto and verso. Six-column format. 22 x 15 1/2 inches; 560 x 395 mm. Light creases down the middle in both directions. Some nearly invisible repaird along top margin and edges. Some of the repairs just touching a few letters in the headline. Still a very good copy of this important declaration. We could only find 3 copies of this at auction and it is not mentioned in Eberstadt. Eberstadt mentions that his Third edition of the Emancipation has a publication date somewhere between September 24th and 26th therefore putting the current copy before this. Eberstadt's first and second edition are the official state department editions printed the day of the declaration September 22nd just the day before this New York Herald was printed. Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 1862 stating that if the rebelling states did not cease fighting and rejoin the Union by January 1 1863 the slaves in those states would be set free. The New York Herald issued this front-page top left corner early printing of Lincoln's Proclamation the very next day appearing under the headline: "All Slaves in States of Rebellion January 1 1863 to Be Free." "Lincoln read the first draft of what came to be known as the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet on 22 July 1862. Given the criticism directed at Lincoln for moving too slowly on the issue of emancipation it is worth noting that this first reading took place just sixteen months after he had pledged not to 'interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists.' He continued to revise the document throughout the summer and following the Union victory at Antietam he issued the preliminary proclamation-which managed to balance daring with prudence-on 22 September. This first proclamation essentially gave the Rebel States one hundred days to return to the Union after which period any slaves within their borders would be "then thenceforward and forever free." Any rebellious states that returned to the Union in the interim would be able to adopt immediate or gradual-and compensated-abolition of slavery within their borders." Sotheby's. The front page of this newspaper also contains two maps and reports of the campaigns in Kentucky. HBS 68870. $3500. The New York Herald unknown books
