Some separation between leaves. 2 pp. plus integral address leaf. Folio. Releasing Loyalists at the End of the Revolution. Letter written by Secretary of War General Benjamin Lincoln to New Jersey Governor William Livingston regarding the release of prisoners of war into New York state.<br/><br/>Benjamin Lincoln served as a major general in the Continental Army noted for being the commanding officer at the surrender of Charleston May 1780 and for accepting Lord Cornwallis's sword at the time of his surrender at Yorktown. He subsequently served as Secretary of War and Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor. In this letter he writes to Governor Livingston informing him that many prisoners of war likely Loyalists in New York have expressed a wish to return to their employment and he has been petitioned for their release.<br/><br/>"Dear Sir Mr. Stewart informs me that there are a number of inhabitants of your state now in gaol as prisoners of war who went from you some time since and joined the enemy. As many of them are good forge men and colliers & wish to return to their former employment he has requested that I would permit it. I do not think myself authorised to turn such men into your state without your permission. Should you think proper to have them liberated a line from you to the commissary of prisoners at Lancaster expressing your wish will be sufficient for I will direct him to relegate all such of your inhabitants as you shall name." Given Livingston's strong anti-Loyalist sentiments it may be doubtful that he had the men released no matter what their occupation and abilities.<br/><br/>A reluctant politician William Livingston nevertheless rose to prominence in colonial New York and New Jersey in part due to his wealth and family connections. He was the first governor of the state of New Jersey holding that office from 1776 until his death in 1790. Livingston was extremely popular with his constituents and was fiercely anti-Loyalist. During this time Livingston was constantly on the move to avoid assassination bringing him into close contact with his constituents. This sensitized him to their needs in a way few others in his station would know additionally fuelling his desire for reforms including the abolition of slavery.<br/><br/>A nice letter from the Secretary of War regarding POWs in the American Revolution. unknown books

1860116741Columbus: Follett Foster and Company 1860. First edition second issue with the Table of Contents on page ii of "the most important series of American political debates" Howes L338. Octavo original publisher's brown cloth with gilt titles to the spine and elaborate blind stamping to the front and rear panels. In very good condition. Ownership name. Although the debates were originally performed during the Illinois Senatorial race in 1858 they were published when both men became presidential candidates in 1860. Douglas won the race for senator but the debates were his undoing in the presidential race as Lincoln reminded voters repeatedly of the inconsistency between Douglas' principle of "popular sovereignty" in which the new territories would individually determine the status of slavery and the Dred Scott decision in which the Supreme Court declared that slavery would not be excluded from the territories by Congress. As a result Douglas was too tolerant of slavery for many northerners and not vigorous enough for Southern Democrats. Somewhat surprisingly for an attorney Lincoln did not seek Douglas' permission to publish a book of their combined speeches although Douglas was later given the last-minute opportunity--he declined--to make corrections to his own remarks" Morris 121.
