1900143581Adelaide: Government Printer 1900. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Adelaide Government Printer circa 1900. An oblong quarto photograph album approximately 250 × 320 mm containing 22 original vintage gelatin silver photographs each approximately 200 × 280 mm tipped in on the recto and verso of 11 card leaves captioned in ink on the mount. Cord-bound textured papered boards; minimal signs of age and handling; essentially in fine condition. 'South Australia' is written in ink on the front pastedown and the individual captions tend to be informative and site-specific: 'Aquaduct at the Gorge on the Torrens River'; 'View from Mount Barker'; 'Orchard & Vineyard Roseworthy College Farm'; 'Head of Gillen on the River Murray'; and 'Vineyard at Magill' are a few examples along with numerous identified bridges viaducts reservoirs and rivers. <p>This level of detail has enable us to locate thanks to Trove an article in an Adelaide newspaper 'The Express and Telegraph' Wednesday 3 October 1906 headed 'Advertising the State. South Australian Photographs in London'. The description of many of the photographs on display at the Bank of Adelaide branch in London 'The whole of these photographs were supplied by Mr. Vaughan the photo-lithographer' matches many of those in this album leading us to our attribution. <p>The article records that 'The Government recognise the value of photographs . and they have been putting the cameras in the Lands Department to good use lately for the purpose of advertising the State. A large number of pictures and slides for lantern use have been sent to the office of the Agent-General and every mail now takes a small addition to the stock. The photographs are used for advertising the State in various ways'. <p>It is perhaps unsurprising that the extraordinary portrait of the 'Port Lincoln natives - last of tribe' is not mentioned in the report. The State Library of South Australia has two examples of this print in its collection B 512 and B77443 - the latter in poor condition dated 'Approximately 1897' and '1897' respectively.

I'm sure I never could have got up here by my own efforts." The New York Courier's James Watson Webb does a backward somersault in the foreground.</p><p>The broadside evidently issued after the parties' nominating Conventions because Seward is depicted as a cripple "on crutches and with bandaged feet."

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. In his Address at the Sanitary Fair in Baltimore Maryland in April of 1861 Lincoln stated: “The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty and the American people just now are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two not only different but incompatible things called by the same name liberty. And it follows that each of the things is by the respective parties called by two different and incompatible names…liberty and tyranny.†unknown

186041812Chicago: Press & Tribune Office 1860. Caption title as issued. 44pp. Stitched. Widely scattered light foxing. Near Fine. At head of title: "PRICE 5 Cents per Single Copy; $3.00 per Hundred; $25.00 Per Thousand."<br /> <br /> The "stenographic report" Monaghan of the country's most significant political convention with a record of all activities including speeches platform and the balloting for President and Vice President. Unlike modern conventions the winner of this one was far from clear. Several formidable candidates-- including Seward Chase Bates and Fremont--- stood in Lincoln's way. Although he had planned his strategy with great intelligence Lincoln was a true 'Dark Horse.' <br /> "Instead of attending in person Lincoln was represented by his friend and campaign manager Illinois judge David Davis whose initiative and deal-making skills despite his candidate's disapproval of such behind-the-scenes maneuvering is widely credited with his eventual nomination. Davis did however follow Lincoln's instruction in forming their general strategy as he maneuvered throughout the building nicknamed The Wigwam. <br /> "To make up for his meagre resume compared to Seward and Chase his team thought it prudent to not go on the attack against the frontrunners and instead become 'everybody's second choice.' through the convention's ranked voting system. His campaign also used the convention to start forging Lincoln's image as the Rail-Splitter a reference to his working-class background and a potential golden opportunity to appeal to the common laborers in the industrial Northern states who stood to benefit the most from the Republicans' Free Soil ideology. They also made direct appeals to delegates from the critical swing states of Pennsylvania and Indiana. When voting began on the 18th Davis and his allies felt confident in their chances to pull ahead. The first ballot placed Seward predictably with the highest vote total of 173.5 but not enough to win a majority while Lincoln followed with a total of 102. The second round bumped Lincoln's total number of votes to 181. The momentum on Lincoln's side continued to surge into the third round where Lincoln received a total of 231.5 votes still not enough to be nominated until David Cartter leader of the Ohio delegation announced his decision to switch support from Chase to Lincoln making him the 1860 Republican nominee for President" American Battlefield Trust 'Inside the Wigwam'.<br /> Ante-Fire Imprints 504.

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.

186268870New York: The New York Herald 1862. Full Description:<br> <br> LINCOLN Abraham. Emancipation Proclamation."A Proclamation by the President of the United States. Operations of the Confiscation Act. All Slaves in States in Rebellion January 1 1863 to Be Free." New York. Published in: The New York Herald Tuesday September 23 1862. Whole No. 9506.<br> <br> The publication of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in James Gordon Bennett's pro-Democratic New York Herald and one of if not the first official public announcements of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.<br> <br> Broadsheet folio one large leaf folded along top to make four pages two leaves printed on recto and verso. Six-column format. 22 x 15 1/2 inches; 560 x 395 mm. Light creases down the middle in both directions. Some nearly invisible repaird along top margin and edges. Some of the repairs just touching a few letters in the headline. Still a very good copy of this important declaration. We could only find 3 copies of this at auction and it is not mentioned in Eberstadt. Eberstadt mentions that his Third edition of the Emancipation has a publication date somewhere between September 24th and 26th therefore putting the current copy before this. Eberstadt's first and second edition are the official state department editions printed the day of the declaration September 22nd just the day before this New York Herald was printed.<br> <br> Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 1862 stating that if the rebelling states did not cease fighting and rejoin the Union by January 1 1863 the slaves in those states would be set free. The New York Herald issued this front-page top left corner early printing of Lincoln's Proclamation the very next day appearing under the headline: "All Slaves in States of Rebellion January 1 1863 to Be Free."<br> <br> "Lincoln read the first draft of what came to be known as the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet on 22 July 1862. Given the criticism directed at Lincoln for moving too slowly on the issue of emancipation it is worth noting that this first reading took place just sixteen months after he had pledged not to 'interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists.' He continued to revise the document throughout the summer and following the Union victory at Antietam he issued the preliminary proclamation-which managed to balance daring with prudence-on 22 September. This first proclamation essentially gave the Rebel States one hundred days to return to the Union after which period any slaves within their borders would be "then thenceforward and forever free." Any rebellious states that returned to the Union in the interim would be able to adopt immediate or gradual-and compensated-abolition of slavery within their borders."

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. 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."

Book 2: Satire Six 123 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page.<p>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."<p>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. <p>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."<p>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. 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. 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." [circa 1933]. unknown
