1910Best.-Nr. ST17022London: Privately printed by the Chiswick Press for Beatrice Lowry and Her Friends Minneapolis 1910. ONE OF 100 COPIES according to Howes. 215 x 147 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 7/8". 31 1 pp. 1 leaf colophon. With a foreword by Mrs. Lowry. PLEASING EMERALD GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT IN AN ARTS & CRAFTS STYLE BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE stamp-signed on rear turn-in upper cover framed by multiple rules entwined heart and trefoil tooling at corners gilt lettering accented with floral tool above and below the central panel which has three dots at each corner raised bands spine in gilt-ruled compartments gilt titling gilt-ruled turn-ins pale green endpapers top edge gilt. In contemporary green cloth drop-front box lined with felt. With a frontispiece portrait of Lowry. Howes L-541. Trivial offsetting to free endleaves from turn-ins a couple of tiny spots of foxing otherwise in nearly pristine condition with no signs of use inside or out. This is an exceptionally well-preserved copy of a work that was specially compiled printed and bound to honor the memory of both the author and the subject. Prominent Minneapolis attorney businessman and philanthropist Thomas Lowry 1843-1909 grew up in Illinois and Lincoln had assisted his father with several legal matters when he was practicing law. Young Lowry attended all of the Lincoln-Douglas debates and became a devoted admirer of the man who would go on to preserve the Union. After a successful career that included establishing the street car system in Minneapolis Lowry contracted tuberculosis and spent the last four years of his life as an invalid. With excess time on his hands he began writing down his memories of Lincoln in a "fragmentary manner" as Mrs. Lowry explains in the preface. After her husband's death Beatrice Goodrich Lowry 1854-1915 compiled these memories and some Lincoln letters in her husband's effects into the present volume which she had printed and bound to distribute to her husband's friends. Edmund Brooks a Minneapolis bookseller who specialized in fine bindings helped her to arrange for printing by the esteemed Chiswick Press and binding by the one of the most eminent English workshops of the day Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe met as boys attending Douglas Cockerell's bookbinding classes at the L. C. C. Central School. Cockerell was so impressed by their skill that he hired Sutcliffe as a finisher and Sangorski as a forwarder. In 1901 Francis and George went into business for themselves and before long they had become two of the most renowned English binders of the 20th century. Preserved over the years in its clamshell box our binding looks virtually the same as it did the day it left the bindery. Copies of this work do appear on the market but their condition is seldom as good as seen here. Privately printed [by the Chiswick Press] for Beatrice Lowry and Her Friends, Minneapolis unknown

1960Best.-Nr. 52271Lincoln IL / Chicago IL: Lincoln College / Abraham Lincoln Book Shop 1960. Paperback. DOUGLAS: Edited by J.W. Gray and C.F. Brown. Folio. 20 individual issues each 4pp 13¼" X 18½" plus 4pp introductory leaflet housed in burgundy cloth-over-boards portfolio with gilt lettering. Fine/near fine. Portfolio lacks leather snap closure. LINCOLN: Edited by J.H. Jordan and J.B. McKeehan. Folio. 13 individual issues each 4pp 13" X 18" plus 4pp introductory leaflet housed in tan cloth-over-boards portfolio with gilt lettering and leather clasp. Fine/near fine. Faint touch of wear to portfolio only. DOUGLAS: First and only edition of this facsimile set limited to 500 sets most in presentation envelope and only a small number in this deluxe hardbound portfolio format. Outstanding facsimile reproductions of the full run of this newspaper all with large and ornate pictorial masthead "which was issued" as introductory leaflet notes in subtitle "to further the candidacy of Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency of the United States." Begins with number 1 dated June 30 1860 through number 20 dated November 17 1860. Original issues of this campaign newspaper are rare and this centennial facsimile set is itself quite scarce. LINCOLN: Facsimile reproductions of the complete file of "The Railsplitter" beginning with August 1 1860 through October 27 1860 each with large ornate pictorial masthead. Edition limited to 150 sets -- this copy with a signature of Newman tipped beneath the limitation statement of introductory leaflet in which Newman also provides the 2-page history. Original issues of "The Railsplitter" are quite scarce and a full run virtually unattainable -- and this deluxe clothbound facsimile edition has itself become very uncommon. A clean handsome copy. This pair of facsimile sets both produced in 1960 and matching in size and format were clearly intended to be complementary -- but a set of each in the deluxe editions are rarely found together.

The book compiles various essays and research findings from different scholars to analyze how Soviet policies propaganda and social attitudes contributed to the persecution and marginalization of Jewish communities. Carefully examines the dangers to Russian Jews of "spiritual annihilation" through the personal anti-Semitism that they face as well as through the "forcible elimination of the thousand-year-old religious heritage of Jewish learning and culture in the Soviet Union". Key themes include: Historical Context: The book provides an overview of the historical background of Jews in Russia including the impact of the Russian Revolution and subsequent Soviet governance on Jewish life. State Policies: It examines the Soviet government's official stance on Judaism and how this often oscillated between promotion of atheism and state-sponsored anti-Semitism. Cultural Representation: The essays discuss the portrayal of Jews in Soviet literature and media showing how stereotypes and discrimination were perpetuated. Resistance and Adaptation: The narratives also highlight the resilience of Jewish communities their strategies for cultural preservation and the development of identities despite systemic oppression. Contemporary Implications: The book seeks to connect historical anti-Semitism within the Soviet Union to present-day issues of anti-Semitism and xenophobia globally. Illustrated.

1865Best.-Nr. 159071865. the copy of an attendee April 19 1865. Concord Mass.: no printer shown no date but April 16-19. Four-page bifolium. This is the "Order of Services" for the memorial service for Abraham Lincoln who had died just four days earlier. It was held at the First Parish Church of Concord with the Revs. Grindall Reynolds and Thomas Rattray presiding. It is interesting to note that this service was held exactly 90 years -- to the day -- after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. Item VI of IX on the program is "Addresses by R.W. Emerson and Others": Emerson's address is well-documented see EmersonCentral for the complete text; Emerson began with James Russell Lowell's poem about Lincoln which JRL would recite three months later at Harvard Commencement 1865. Quoting from Emerson's address: . This middle-class country had got a middle-class president at last. Yes in manners and sympathies but not in powers for his powers were superior. This man grew according to the need. His mind mastered the problem of the day; and as the problem grew so did his comprehension of it. Rarely was man so fitted to the event. Emerson initially had had mixed feelings about Lincoln: an avowed abolitionist he was frustrated with Lincoln's concentration on preserving the Union rather than immediately abolishing slavery; however with the Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln had won Emerson's full support. This fragile piece is in close-to-fine condition several old folds but little wear. Emerson's address is referred to but not printed within this Order of Services; therefore this leaflet is not listed in Myerson's bibliography -- but for early texts of Emerson's Lincoln address see Myerson E167 D56 D57 G51 & G55. This is quite a scarce piece as presumably copies were printed primarily for the attendees of the Service. That is almost certainly the case with this copy as there are pencil notations on three of the four pages notations that imply attendance. For example the attendee noted which reverend handled the "Selections from Scriptures" and which the "Benediction" noted that the "Hymn" was sung to the tune "Salem" and noted that the "Others" besides Emerson to give addresses were Judge Hoar -- Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar staunch abolitionist and member of the Mass. Supreme Court -- and the Rev. Mr. Rattray. A line from Judge Hoar's address is quoted by the attendee as is a brief account of the assassination. unknown

1860Best.-Nr. 10625Columbus OH: Follett Foster & Co 1860. First Hardcover Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Octavo 406pp. illustrated plus advertisements. With half-title and original endpapers. A very good copy complete and unrestored in the publisher's brown cloth. Spine ends with shallow wear one scrunch to the cloth on the front board abrasions to corners and mild internal foxing. Still a nice sound copy with strong inner hinges. All three illustrations present as called for including an uncommonly dashing portrait of the 16th president. Preceded by two issues in wrappers both of which are extremely rare in commerce. Considered to be the first widely read modern campaign biography. This must be quite an early copy as there is no errata slip at p. 74 issued in later copies the error on p. 46 no "i" in "importance" on the last line is present and we even note another typographical error not mentioned in any other catalog description that we found with the last word "triumph" omitted by the printer supplied here in pencil by a contemporary owner. There is a period and colon after the "O" at the imprint though these almost appear to have been added later . Howes H-735. Follett, Foster & Co hardcover
