"<i>Mary Lincoln. / 1878</i>" in her copy of Charles Duke Yonge <i>The Life of Marie Antoinette Queen of France</i> 2d rev. ed. London: Hurst and Blackett 1877 xvi 432 pp. 8vo. bound in tooled purple cloth boards with titled spine. A carte-de-visite portrait of Mary Lincoln has been affixed to the front free endpaper.<br /><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Mary Lincoln likely identified with the guillotined French queen's plight. Their words whether truly said or not and their intentions were frequent targets of abuse in the press. The press of their respective days viewed both as spendthrifts and harshly questioned their motives attacking Marie Antoinette's commitment to the welfare of the French people "let them eat cake" and Mary Lincoln's loyalty to the Union in light of her southern familial ties.</p><p>Perhaps Mary Lincoln drew comfort and inspiration from Yonge's closing tribute to his royal subject quoted above. An incredible association copy acquired and inscribed by Mary Lincoln while she was living in France.</p><p><b>Mary Lincoln</b> 1818-1882 was born into the prominent Todd family in Lexington Kentucky. Educated at female academies and boarding schools she learned to speak French fluently and also studied literature dance drama and music. She was very well-educated for her time place and gender. In November 1842 she married Abraham Lincoln in Springfield Illinois and they had four sons. She supported her husband's political ambitions becoming First Lady in 1861. Because she was from a border state with several of her relatives supporting the Confederacy Mary Lincoln was the object of suspicion in the press. Although she was responsible for hosting many social functions her extensive spending to renovate the White House also drew complaints from a nation at war and from her husband. However she also visited wounded soldiers in Washington hospitals taking them fruit and flowers and writing letters home for them. Prone to severe headaches and depression she suffered the loss of three of her four sons and was present when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre.</p><p>After leaving the White House she lived in Chicago where her son briefly had her committed to a sanitarium in 1875. After being declared competent to manage her own affairs in 1876 she spent the next four years traveling in Europe and living in Pau France. She later returned to Springfield where she died in her sister's home.</p><p><b>Marie Antoinette</b> 1755-1793 was born in Vienna Austria the daughter of Francis I Holy Roman Emperor. She married the future French king Louis XVI 1754-1793 in 1770 when she was just fifteen years old. They had four children between 1778 and 1786. When her husband ascended to the throne in 1774 she became the Queen of France. The young royals came to symbolize all of the excesses of the reviled French monarchy and she became the target of a great deal of vicious gossip. After the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 the government placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace. After the abolition of the monarchy in September 1792 the Convention found the former king guilty of undermining the French Republic and executed him in January 1793. The Revolutionary Tribunal tried Marie Antoinette in October and found her guilty of depleting the treasury conspiracy against the Republic and treason. She was sent to the guillotine on October 16 1793.</p><p><b>Charles Duke Yonge</b> 1812-1891 was born in Eton and attended Eton College Cambridge University Oxford University and Keble College. From 1866 to his death he held a chair of English Literature at Queen's College Belfast. He authored a dozen books of history and biography. He translated six works by Cicero and prepared an English-Latin dictionary and an English-Greek lexicon.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Spine cracked with some minor losses and some rubbing at top and bottom some wear to boards pages overall clean with a few bearing some marginal loss that has been repaired else very good.</p> Hurst and Blackett hardcover books

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
193240280Carmel-by-the-Sea: The Carmelite 1932. First Edition. Tabloid 31.5cm x 24cm; 8pp. Mild edgewear and toning; Very Good. Well-preserved single issue of this uncommon California weekly devoted primarily to news and events in the small artists' community of Carmel-by-the-Sea on the Monterey peninsula. Lincoln Steffens moved to Carmel in 1926 with his wife Ella and quickly established himself as a controversial and divisive figure. The present article in which Steffens presents the proposition that the only choice in the 1932 Presidential election is between Republican Hoover and Communist William Z. Foster Roosevelt offering in his opinion no more than a watered-down but ideologically identical alternative to the Republican candidate shows why. The Carmelite unknown books
