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. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. 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 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland the Union of South Africa Yugoslavia and Greece. 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."</p> New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1937. hardcover
186230007.01<p>On the front page under <i>"News from the North" </i>is the text of Abraham Lincoln's reply to <i>New York Tribune</i>editor Horace Greeley. Greeley's letter urging Lincoln to emancipate all slaves in Union-held territory was known as "The Prayer of Twenty Millions." It was first published on August 20 1862. Lincoln responded on August 22 declaring that his paramount goal is to save the Union regardless of its effect on slavery as well as his personal views that all men should be free.</p> <b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Newspaper. <i>Richmond Whig</i> Richmond Va. August 30 1862. 2 pp. 17 x 24 in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpt:</b></p><p><i>"…As to the policy I 'seem to be pursuing' as you say I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. </i></p><p><i> I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored the nearer the Union will be 'the Union as it was.'

Moreover Lincoln makes a "divide and conquer" rhetorical move: he splits the issue by stating that his constitutional duty as president is to keep the Union together while simultaneously expressing his personal view of universal freedom at the end.</p><p>Additional content in this issue includes a front page editorial <i>"European Recognition" "The Indian Atrocities in Minnesota" "Yankee Finances" "An Order From Gen.

Additionally there are various reports from the <i>"Confederate Congress"</i> and numerous advertisements including a <i>"$100 Reward"</i> for a runaway slave.</p><p>The <i>Richmond Whig</i> is one of the less common—but still important—newspapers from the capital of the Confederacy.</p><p>In <i>Four Years in Rebel Capitals: An Inside View of Life in the Southern Confederacy from Birth to Death</i> journalist T. C. DeLeon wrote that the <i>Richmond</i> <i>Whig</i>was among the South's best wartime newspapers. Their pages "recorded the real and true history of public opinion during the war. In their columns is to be found the only really correct and indicative 'map of busy life its fluctuations and its vast concerns' in the South during her days of darkness and of trial."</p><p>One of the more interesting episodes in the history of the <i>Whig</i> is its alleged involvement in a terror plot against New York City during the Civil War. The <i>Whig</i>was reputed to have worked with the Confederate government to use advertisements and editorials to convey secret messages to Southern sympathizers in the North. In October 1864 the <i>Whig</i> was alleged to have run an editorial that signaled Southern supporters to embark on a terror campaign that called for widespread fires to be set in New York city and federal offices to be taken over and the capture of the city's military commander Maj.
