186036919np 1860. 8pp caption title as issued. Disbound with a bit of loosening light inner margin spotting. Good.<br/><br/> Lincoln's great Cooper Union Address argues that the Framers and early Congresses contemplated a narrow and ever-diminishing role for slavery. Examining Constitutional and early Congressional debates he demonstrates that contemporary statesmen viewed slavery "as an evil not to be extended but to be tolerated and protected only because of and so far as its actual presence among us makes that toleration and protection a necessity." <br/> Lincoln's argument fusing the interests of all anti-slavery men whether abolitionists or not ranks among his greatest contributions to American political thought. It received wide press coverage catapulting him into presidential contention for it transported the new Republican Party into the center of American constitutional and legal thinking rather than to an unacceptable extreme. He thus made it easy for moderate Northern Democrats Whigs and Know-Nothings to vote Republican in 1860.<br/>Monaghan 55. LCP 5944. unknown books

18875831Boston: Roberts Brothers 1887. Octavo 19 x 13 cm. xxvii 237 5 16 1 pages. Index. Evident FIRST EDITION. Not a cookbook per se but rather an instruction manual "for the use of classes in public and industrial schools" based on the work being done by the Boston School Kitchen. The Boston School Kitchen was initiated and funded by Mrs. Mary Hemenway in summer of 1885 and was the introduction of cooking schools into the Boston Public School system and the first public school kitchen in the United States. Students from various schools in the system would choose to attend as an addition to their regular studies. Mrs. Hemenway supported the school for three years and for the first year instruction was given by Miss Amabel Hope. School Kitchen No. 2 was established in January 1886 in South Boston. Ten years later Miss Hope issued a report on the Cooking Schools indicating that the number of schools had grown to fourteen. Documents of the School Committee of the City of Boston for the Year 1895. Boston: Rockwell & Churchill City Printers 1895 page 281 ff. ~ Mrs. D. A. Lincoln was the first teacher at the Boston Cooking School though she recognized her inadequacy as a culinary instructor and replaced herself with Miss Joanna Sweeney. While at the school she wrote Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book 1884 the fore-runner to Fannie Merritt Farmer's Boston Cooking School Cook Book 1896. The Boston Cook Book included a section on operating a cooking school titled "An Outline of Study for Teachers". With the publication of the Boston School Kitchen Text-Book Lincoln had written the two works that became the foundation of cooking education for decades. ~ A school prize copy with the presentation inscription of the book's dedicatee Mrs. Mary Hemenway. The inscription reads "May Storey from Mrs. Mary Hemenway June added later in pencil 1885/6." And following in pencil in what appears to be the same hand "aged 12 years 1st Prize for highest percentage Diploma 98 and proficiency." Mary Porter Tileson Hemenway 1820-1894 was a remarkable American philanthropist. Born in New York she moved to Boston after marrying Augustus Hemenway a successful merchant. Quick to recognize significant needs she dedicated herself to a variety of educational causes helping to fund the both white and black colleges including Hampton and Tuskeegee in the south following the Civil War; she recognized that many soldier's wives did not know how to sew and so she provided training and materials for introduction of a sewing course within the Boston Public Schools. This led to her opening "an industrial-vocation school in Boston and two years later in 1885 she opened a kitchen in a public school the first venture of its kind in the United States. After three years the city assumed the cost of the kitchen and cooking as well as sewing became part of the program of education. Meanwhile in 1887 Mrs. Hemenway had started the Boston Normal School of Cooking which after her death in 1894 became the Mary H. Hemenway Department of Household Arts in the State Normal School of Framingham." HarvardSquareLibrary 09/18. Moderately edgeworn in illustrated paper boards over brown cloth.

Illus. b/w plate. <br/><br/>On November 7 1837 Elijah Parish Lovejoy borning in Albion Maine was killed by a pro-slavery mob while defending the site of his press The Saint Louis Observer renowned for producing abolitionist tracts. For many Lovejoy was a martyr to the cause of free speech. His death deeply affected many Northerners and greatly strengthened the abolitionist anti-slavery cause and effectively proved that slavery posed a danger to the liberties of all Americans. Emerson was appalled by the incident and in response delivered an address in Concord focusing on the necessity of preserving free speech.the address does not survive in finished form.

1871334508New York 1871. Unbound. Near Fine. Two printed tickets each with a mounted albumen photograph in cabinet card format 4.25 x 6.25 inches. The back side of each ticket has a faint printed design on white glazed paper. Both tickets are neatly trimmed along the right edge near fine with a few tiny perimeter tears and light toning. The first ticket from 1870 has a mounted albumen photograph of a painting by A.H. Ritchie of Lincoln with his cabinet reading the Emancipation Proclamation. The second ticket from 1871 has a mounted albumen photograph of a statue of Lincoln reading a newspaper with Grant and whom we believe is Gideon Wells. The Lincoln Union Social Club a pro-Republican party function held its first ball in New York City in 1870. These two ephemeral items tickets for the first and second balls are not to be confused with the invitations that preceded them. Of the two the tickets may be a rarer survival. We know of only one other copy of the 1870 ticket at the Library of Congress. unknown books

Thomas McDade's author of The Annals of Murder peronal copy with his bookplate and notes in pencil. <br /> <br /> With two TLS from the author in response to a letter from McDade. <br /> <br /> In McDade's letter dated February 6 1968 he starts by congratulating Lincoln on the book and then admonishes her lack of an index or footnotes. McDade brings up "the pigeon killing episode on page 56" and asks "did I overlook that in previous readings on this case" He brings up some other discrepancies and typos in her writing goes on to congratulate Lincoln again and invites her to a meeting of the "Society of Connoisseurs in Murder" in New York. <br /> <br /> In Lincoln's response she says "I do hope this letter reaches you. Alas I can't decipher your signature" and then writes to "warn your secretary to type your name below that charming dashing uptilted and totally illegible name!" She then recognizes some of McDade's criticisms; "The books is full of typos; also of copywriter's meddlings." Lincoln brings up the "pigeon killing episode" and says everything in the book had been vetted "except in such instances as I clearly said "This is suppostitious " or "this is hearsay." Later she acknowledges McDade's comments about the lack of index. "You make me feel that some day when I'm a book away from Lizzie I should dig out my still remaining bushels of notes get them back into order make and index and an appendix consisting of full annotation and persuade a publisher to put out a limited edition for Borden buffs. Oh God what an exhausting notion--no come to consider it you only make me feel that I should feel that way." <br /> <br /> In her second later she starts with "The pigeons bit has continued to bug me." She then lays out her sources and her reasons for including it in the book. She finishes the letter with "You put your finger on my Achilles heel--those pigeons. G. P. Putnam's Sons unknown

He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German French Spanish Latin Greek and Classical Greek. He served in the Atois St. Mihiel and Meuse Argonne campaigns of World War I as an aide to the commanding general of the 80th Division and of the Ninth and Sixth Army Corps. He rose to the rank of major and was cited by General of the Armies John J. Pershing in 1919 for "exceptionally meritorious services". After the war he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. 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> Paris: Librairie Armand Colin, 1918. paperback
