AMNESTY PROCLAMATION AND THIRD ANNUAL MESSAGE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES READ IN CONGRESS WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 9 1863

1863WRCAM55251Washington 1863. 20pp. Original printed wrappers. Light toning. A near fine copy in wonderful condition. In a cloth chemise and green half morocco and cloth slipcase spine gilt. The rare pamphlet printing of Lincoln's December 8 1863 proclamation read before Congress the next day offering amnesty to citizens of the Confederacy providing they take an oath that they "will abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of the President made during the existing rebellion having reference to slaves" i.e. the Emancipation Proclamation. When the number of persons in any state taking the oath reached ten percent of the number of voters in 1860 this group of loyal voters could form a state government that could be recognized by the President. The Amnesty Proclamation was issued with President Lincoln's third Annual Message to Congress i.e. State of the Union Address on December 8 1863; the State of the Union Address follows the Amnesty Proclamation here. Toward the close of 1863 with the Confederate Army in full retreat discussions in Congress centered on how to restore the southern states to the Union. "The crisis which threatened to divide the friends of the Union is past" announced Lincoln. Now it was the duty of Congress to ensure that all citizens in the South regardless of race were guaranteed the equal protection of the law. A number of competing proposals emerged from deliberations but in the end during his message to Congress on December 8 1863 Lincoln declared reconstruction of the South a wholly executive responsibility and "offered 'full pardon.with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves' to all rebels who would take an oath of future loyalty to the Constitution and pledge to obey acts of Congress and presidential proclamations relating to slavery" Donald p.471. Those excluded from taking the oath were the highest ranking members of the Confederacy - government officials judges military and naval officers above the rank of army colonel or navy lieutenant former congressmen and "all who have engaged in treating colored persons or white persons otherwise than lawfully as prisoners of war." Lincoln further encouraged the southern states to make provisions "in relation to the freed people of such State which shall recognize and declare their permanent freedom provide for their education and which may yet be consistent as a temporary arrangement with their present condition as a laboring landless and homeless class." "Lincoln indicated that this was only one plan for reconstructing the rebel South and while it was the best he could think of for now he would gladly consider others and possibly adopt them. He might even modify his own classes of pardons if that seemed warrantable.Afterward almost everybody but die-hard Democrats seemed happy with the plan" Oates p.371. A lovely copy of Lincoln's hugely important Amnesty Proclamation. MONAGHAN 191. SABIN 41162 note. David Herbert Donald LINCOLN New York 1995 p.471. Stephen B. Oates WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE: A LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN New York 1977 p.371. hardcover books

Lear Benjamin Lincoln 1792 1832ABAA

AN ORATION DELIVERED AT THE CELEBRATION OF OUR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AT THE CITY OF WASHINGTON JULY 4th 1816 cover title. A 25pp. manuscript draft of his speech with ink and pencil corrections signed by Lear on the manuscript title page. Accompanied by a request from the mayor of Washington DC seeking a copy for publication; 2 autograph letters signed by Lear to his step-mother Fanny Lear; and 3 letters from Lear's widow and his daughter also to Fanny Lear

1842617581842. Lear's 25pp. speech approx. 4000 words selfwraps with ms. title page bound at left margin with a thin ribbon. Lear's prose celebrates the 40th anniversary of the founding of the United States its Constitution and first President but also speaks of the more recent events of the War of 1812. Lear's summation of the country's virtues include "extensive territory a salubrious climate a fertile soil & a people hardy enterprising brave & virtuous" and a Constitution which has proved its excellence and efficacy in both peace and war: "These are some of the blessings which distinguish us from every other state which has ever been prophesied in history. These attract to our shores the virtuous & the persecuted and will soon raise us to a proud preeminence among the nations." The speech was apparently published in the July 9 1816 edition of the "Daily National Intelligencer" in Washington DC. An autographed note signed by Mayor James H. Blake 1p. approx. 26 words is included here congratulating Lear and requesting a copy for publication though we have found no record of a separate printing. Blake was mayor during the siege and burning of the city by the British in 1814. This group of material also includes two ms. letters from Benjamin Lear in Washington to his stepmother Fanny Dandridge Henley Lear one from May 7 1815 2 1/4 pp. approx. 400 words and one from May 21 1815 3pp. approx. 625 words. Fanny was away from home visiting relatives in Surry Co. Virginia and Benjamin was reporting on his stewardship of the household his attempts to sell a calf and his settling into the house enough to invite people to dinner. He tell her his business in the city has increased greatly and "my dear father Tobias Lear advises me to go to Philadelphia in the course of the summer to purchase a library- oh! I shall yet be a great man. I trust and it is the height of my ambition to be the greatest lawyer in this country." He also says his father has been suffering with a rheumatic headache. Lear mentions that friends from Gibraltar and Tripoli have recently arrived in the city including Mr. Morgan who "never heard from any of their friends in Cadiz the slightest hint of the malicious report which we had here" regarding Richard S. Hackley Consul to Cadiz. The remaining three ms. letters in this collection are joint letters from Benjamin Lear's young daughter Louisa nicknamed 'Loulean' and his widow Louisa Sophia Bomford Lear who had married Richard Derby following Benjamin's death to her former mother-in-law Fanny Lear. Though none of the three have year dates Loulean's activities indicate she was under 10 years old at the time. The first letter dated Dec. 30 no year is 3 1/2 pp. approx. 700 words. The first two pages are written in a child's careful hand complete with smudges reporting on practicing her Catechism dancing the "Cachucha" and performing in plays. Her mother's note follows explaining why she has not heard from them sooner saying it took Loulean about three weeks to write what she did. The next two letters from July are equally charming and full of the little girl's activities. Benjamin Lincoln Lear was the only child of Tobias Lear most well known as George Washington's personal secretary and tutor to his step grandchildren. Benjamin was born at the President's house in Philadelphia in 1792 and Washington was named his godparent. His mother Mary "Polly" Long died when he was two and Tobias married second Frances Bassett Washington widow of President Washington's nephew George Augustine Washington and third Frances Dandridge Henley Martha Washington's niece. Benjamin spent his youth at boarding schools or with his grandmother in New Hampshire. In these letters Benjamin addresses Fanny Dandridge Lear 1779-1856 as "dear mother." Benjamin Lincoln Lear had a successful career as a lawyer in Washington DC until cholera claimed his life in 1832 just shortly before the birth of his only child Louisa. paperback books

An Oration delivered on the Battlefield of Gettysburg November 19 1863 at the Consecration of the Cemetery Prepared for the Internment of the Remains of those who fell in Battles of July 1st 2d and 3d 1863

186332764New York: Baker & Godwin 1863. 8vo. 9 x 5 5/8 inches. 48pp. Publisher's lettered wrappers publisher's ad on rear wrapper. Housed in a blue morocco box. "Four score and seven years ago.": the earliest publication of the Gettysburg Address in book form preceded only by the exceptionally rare sixteen-page pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities known in only three copies. Lincoln made his speech at the dedication of a cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield some four months after the bloody and pivotal battle that turned the tide of the Civil War in favor of the Union. Lincoln's speech was preceded by an address from Edward Everett the most famous orator of his day. Everett's speech took some ninety minutes to deliver and is largely forgotten. Lincoln's speech delivered in only a few minutes is immortal. It is a supreme distillation of American values and of the sacrifices necessary for the survival of liberty and freedom. "The Washington Chronicle of 18-21 November reported extensively on this ceremony and included a verbatim text of 'Edward Everett's Great Oration.' On the fourth day it noted in passing that the President had also made a speech but gave no details. When it came to the separate publication on 22 November Everett's 'Oration' was reprinted from the standing type but Lincoln's speech had to be set up. It was tucked away as a final paragraph on page 16 of the pamphlet The Gettysburg Solemnities. It was similarly treated when the meanly produced leaflet was replaced by a 48-page booklet published by Baker and Godwin of New York in the same year" PMM. Lincoln's address appears on page 40 and parenthetical notes are added indicating "applause" and "long-continued applause." A diagram on page 32 gives the details of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg. A lovely example in original wrappers.
