Early signature of "N.R. Preston Boston 1857" on front end page. <br> "Dr. Ball a Harvard graduate went for a hike on a rainy autumn afternoon up the unfinished Mount Washington carriage road. Though aware of both the late hour and the lateness of the season and having knowledge of the death of Lizzie Bourne from exposure on the mountain the month before Ball did not turn back when rain turned to sleet and then snow. He endured three days and two nights in a blizzard protected solely by his umbrella. This was a survival so unparalleled in the past and so unlikely to be repeated in the future as to be worthy of putting into print. Ironically Ball survived the cold of Mount Washington only to die of the heat in Panama at age 39." - Sotheby's Fine Manuscript and Printed Americana 2020. Refs: Bent p. 2; Hammond p. 20; Sabin 2933.

He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P.

1940179601940. Hughes Langston. Signed broadside for lecture readings at Lincoln University circa 1940s-early 1950s documents his role as a leading African American poet and public intellectual returning to his alma mater for a formal campus appearance. The printed announcement lists Hughes as presenting "Lecture-Readings" as part of Lincoln University's Lecture-Recital Series and includes performance of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" his 1921 poem that established themes of historical continuity racial memory and cultural endurance central to his literary career. Issued during the period when Hughes regularly appeared at historically Black colleges and universities following his national recognition as a Harlem Renaissance figure the broadside records the circulation of Black literature through live academic and communal settings. Lincoln University where Hughes earned his B.A. in 1929 after leaving Columbia University amid racial exclusion provided an early institutional foundation for his intellectual development; his later return as featured lecturer underscores the sustained relationship between Black higher education and African American literary production.<br /> <br /> Hughes Langston. Signed printed broadside announcing lecture readings at Lincoln University. Undated circa 1940s-early 1950s. Measures approximately 5 x 7½ inches. Printed program notes Hughes's presentation of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" alongside musical selections and concludes "Mr. Hughes will meet the public in Bennett Lounge following the program." Signed prominently in blue ink in the lower blank area "Langston Hughes."<br /> <br /> The broadside situates Hughes within mid-century campus programming that combined poetry music and public discussion reflecting the integration of literary performance and Black institutional life. "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" first published when Hughes was a teenager links African American identity to ancient civilizations and diasporic history and its inclusion in this program demonstrates the continuity between his early poetic voice and later public presentations. Light overall wrinkling now largely flattened; two small closed tears at the bottom edge and right margin stabilized with archival tape on verso; signature bold and clear. Overall very good condition. Signed piece of African American literary ephemera connecting Harlem Renaissance authorship to historically Black collegiate culture. unknown
30826The only child of George Washington's long-time personal secretary Tobias Lear was actually born in the early "White House" in Philadelphia and Washington was his godfather; his mother died when he was two Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton were among her pallbearers and he went on to become a successful attorney in Washington DC; Gilbert Stuart painted a well-known portrait of him. Outstanding AMS 2pp recto and verso 7 3/4" X 12 3/4" Portsmouth NH 1817 August 20. Very good. Three light horizontal original folds; mild age toning and slight edgewear. This attractively and boldly penned document is titled "Christmas Hymn" and contains the full text of a Christmas song whose original we have not been able to determine. Begins "Hail holy morn upon whose beams / A thousand radiant Seraphs rode / Bright from the Sapphire throne of God. / Bursting upon the Shepherd's dreams.- / While poised upon the glittering wing / A thousand choral voices sing / Glad tidings of great joy we bring / Be peace proclaimed on Earth / And Heaven's high arch with rapture ring." Goes on for several more stanzas closing with: "Thus for the gift that thou hast given / Hereafter we shall learn to rain / On days of everlasting Praise / Tun'd to the Gold en Harps of Heaven." He then concludes "Written from recollection for my Dear Cousin Miss Mary Storer" boldly dated and signed. Storer was the given name of Lear's mother Mary "Polly" Lear the first of Tobias Lear's three wives who was related to the Washington family. There were a great many prominent Storers in early Portsmouth history among them a Mary Storer born around 1785 who might well have been the recipient of this keepsake. Whether Lear's "recollection" of this hymn refers to him recalling a hymn he himself had written years before or to a hymn written by another is not clear and certainly warrants further research. A most unusual and extremely interesting document. unknown

Complete in one volume illustrated. Superbly INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Steffens filling the front pastedown to wealthy Boston surgeon and socialite Dr. Le Roi Goddard Crandon and his wife Mina "Margery" Crandon perhaps the most famous psychic medium of her time who claimed that she channeled her dead brother Walter Stinson. In addition a typescript of a letter from Steffens is pasted on the front endpaper opposite the inscription which transcribes Steffens's somewhat difficult handwriting. The inscription reads in full: "To L. R. G. and Margery Crandon & to/Walter my old friends:/You Crandon you know all of this you are/of some of it as I am a part of your unwritten/Life & of Margery's & Walter's.

Crandon was investigated by members of the American Society for Psychical Research and employees of Scientific American who concluded that she had no genuine paranormal ability and likely was involved in outright deception.
