One photo pictures the procession to the Pardo Palace of MacVeagh in a gilded coach drawn by six horses followed by 50 soldiers of Franco's personal Moorish guard. It was the same coach in which Washington Irving went to present his credentials to the regent during the Carlist wars in 1842.

His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country.

In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947 testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine.

In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value."

(BINDINGS - SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE). (LINCOLN, ABRAHAM). THOMAS LOWRYBiblio.com

PERSONAL REMINISCENCES OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN

1910ST17022London: 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

The report is followed by the text of a bill entitled "An act to establish the Boston and Lowell Rail Road Corporation."The Boston and Lowell Railroad was the first major railroad in the state of Massachusetts. The Boston and Lowell Railroad was preceded by the Middlesex Canal. Converting the canal to a railroad would eliminate the issue of transportation being unavailable during the winter when the canal froze.

This proved difficult as the investors of the Middlesex Canal were against building a new form of transportation designed to replace their canal. The report at hand details the protest of the directors of the Middlesex Canal against granting the petition of John F. Loring and others to construct a railroad in its place. Loring and the other investors received their charter on June 5 1830 and the railroad began operations on June 24 1835.The pamphlet is accompanied by an earlier February 12 1830 pamphlet titled:"To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled. : The president directors and company of the Middlesex Canal having seen the publication of the petition of John F.

ORIGINAL UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT TRANSLATION OF THE FIRST 2 BOOKS OF JUVENAL'S SATIRES CONSISTING OF SATIRES 1-6 BY THE CLASSICAL SCHOLAR AND FORMER AMBASSADOR TO GREECE SPAIN PORTUGAL AND ICELAND LINCOLN MACVEAGH.

193398736circa 1933. 1933. Very good. - What is being offered here are the final hand-written manuscript together with a typed copy of a translation into English of the first 6 Satires of Juvenal. The manuscript is on 10-1/8 inch high by 8 inch wide lined sheets; the typed sheets are on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide sheets. The translation is realized in 4-line stanzas quatrains of poetry in the ABCB rhyme scheme. The contents of both the hand-written manuscript and the typed copy are as follows: Book 1: Satire One 31 pages with 12 lines per page; Satire Two 30 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page; Satire Three 56 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page; Satire Four 28 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page; Satire Five 31 pages with 12 lines per page. Book 2: Satire Six 123 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page.The famous Satire Six begins: "I'll not deny that Chastity/for many years remained/And was long seen upon the earth/in days when Saturn reigned. But that was when some chilly cave/provided hearth and home/For men and herds and household gods/beneath one gloomy dome. The mountain-wife who made her bed/of forest leaves and grasses/and skins of local animals/could not compare with lasses/Like Cynthia or Lesbia/whose grief-bereddened eyes/Lost all their native sparkle through/a sparrow's sad demise/But suckling mighty babes on milk/that she could well afford/Was often more unsightly than/her acorn-belching lord. For earth and sky were new and life/was different to folk/Who fatherless were formed from clay/or sprang from riven oak."The sheets are housed in two cardboard cases with the title "JUVENAL" and MacVeagh's initials "L.Mac.V." written on the spines. The boxes in which the manuscript and typescript are housed are broken.The title page of the typed copy of "Satire 6" has a tear. Unique. Robert Frost wrote to his friend Lincoln MacVeagh from Amherst on December 11 1933: "I have been over your Juvenal again by myself. I have consulted no one at all about it; and the conclusion I have arrived at is entirely my own. The translation and the versification are a good job. But they only confirm me in the indifference not to say dislike I have always felt for the subject matter of the original. I believe it gains in harshness said right out in English. You know me: I can stand sorrow better than evil."Lincoln MacVeagh 1890-1972 a Renaissance man graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German French Spanish Latin Greek and Classical Greek.
