16747BOOTH John Wilkes. Assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Civil War-dated printed broadside playbill 4.5" x 13" inches advertising a performance of Brian Boroihme at the Boston Museum where Booth was a regular performer for May 2 1862 exactly three years before the Lincoln assassination. Before becoming famous as a political radical and a murderer Booth was an erratic and popular performer from the well-known Booth family of Shakespearean actors. A supporter of slavery and the South he participated in the arrest and execution of abolitionist John Brown in 1859. In the fall of 1864 he hatched a plan to kidnap President Abraham Lincoln but the scheme failed. He then concocted the plot to assassinate Lincoln which he did in Ford's Theatre on April 14 1865 before jumping to the stage and allegedly crying out "Sic semper tyrannis! The South is avenged!" Booth was located and killed twelve days later. At the time of the playbill Both was performing in at least twelve pieces; including lead roles in Invisible Prince on May 9 and 12 1862 Peg Woffington on May 9 1862 Richard III on May 12 14 and 21 1862 and The Robbers on May 21 1862. It is very likely Booth contributed to and attended the live performance of Brian Boroihme advertised in the present playbill. In near fine condition. unknown books

186210466Washington: Government Printing Office 1862. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. 910 pp. First edition. As issued in publisher's embossed cloth; spine titled "Messages / and / Diplomatic / Correspondence. / 1862 / Ho. Reps." Binding is a trifle sunned at the spine but generally it presents quite nicely; early and occasional tidelines; occasional scattered foxing. <br /> <br /> This contains Lincoln's second "State of the Union" though at that time it was a printed message rather than an address. In this message Lincoln tangles with the year and a half old civil war and his struggle to preserve the Union while wrestling with the central impasse of the rebellion slavery. A remarkable address that contains at the conclusion one of his memorable lines "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves and then we shall save our country" p. 23. Of profound importance and one of Lincoln's boldest moves to "rise with the occasion" this volume contains the 22 September 1862 preliminary Emancipation Proclamation the final version would be issued and enforced a month after Lincoln's message. The idea of an executive action that would free the slaves in states that were in open rebellion with the Union came in the summer of 1862. An early version of the proclamation was read by Lincoln to his cabinet in July 1862. On the advice of Secretary of State William Seward this penultimate version of the proclamation was thought to be more effective if issued after a significant Union victory—that victory turned out to be at Antietam. The Emancipation Proclamation is among the most important documents in United States history and this preliminary version offers a glimpse into Lincoln's steps towards the abolition of slavery in service of the preservation of the Union.

186454101New York: printed by Thomas R. Dawley 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8vo. 8 pp unpaginated. bound into mostly blank volume. Half-calf over marbled boards marbled endpapers raised bands on spine red black & gilt morocco spine labels minor scuffing wear to corners still VG copy from the library of noted New York City book collector Thomas Bell with his bookplate designed by Nancy Barnhart on front pastedown who was noted for his impressive library devoted mostly to Americana with many titles on Lincoln and sold at Anderson Galleries Auction in 1917. First edition of this scarce Democratic Party Copperhead influenced presidential campaign pamphlet perpetuating the complaints of mistreatment by Democratic candidate and former Civil War general George B. McClellan. This piece appears to have been published at the height of the Cold Harbor campaigns by the Union Army under command of Lieut. General Ulysses S. Grant which were suffering heavy casualties and significant blows to northern morale during the Civil War. The opening letter from President Lincoln denotes his complete confidence in Grant for the 1864 campaigns. In contrast McClellan has presented all of the attempts by Lincoln to encourage move troops and override orders from General as commander of the Union Army. In addition the Democratic ticket under McClellan wanted to negotiate with the Confederates immediately and place the agreement before the voters. Subsequent Documents included further charges against President Lincoln’s arbitrary arrests corruption and frauds Republican opinions about Lincoln and more. Dawley was self-styled as the Publisher to the Million and established himself at 13 and 15 Park Row as the “cheapest printer in the world†whose most successful Civil War publication was the best seller Incidents of American Camp Life.

1916000795New York: Macmillan 1916. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Authors. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 49pp plus 5pp ads in rear. Red boards gilt titles on spine and front board black illustration on front board. Square solid copy with mild wear to spine ends and corners. Pages toned otherwise clean and unmarked. 1916 printing following the 1915 first edition. Signed and inscribed by Colcord on FFEP in black ink to JW McConaughy "from his sincere friend." It's dated June 1918 Washington DC. Colcord's thoughtful searching exploration in verse of the horrors and waste of war as well as the moral questions behind humanity's repeated choice to take up arms. McConaughy was a "popular hard-hitting novelist" though in this instance the inscription's date and location suggest something a bit more relevant to world affairs. McConaughy had impressed Gordon Auchincloss an aide to Colonel Edward M. House who was adviser of President Woodrow Wilson with his idea for having labor attachés in the embassies and holding a national labor conference to work out a program for the war and afterward. Overall a Very Good copy of Colcord's timely and enduring treatment of the vagaries of war with an association that indicates some connection to the prospect of ending and recovering from the war to end all wars.
