HENRY CHARLES LEA.</b>Printed Pamphlet. <i>No. 17: Abraham Lincoln</i> March 1864. 12 pp. 5¾ x 8¾ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>What will be the place assigned by history to Abraham Lincoln</i>" p3</p><p>"<i>Few of us can forget the feelings of doubt and distrust with which we regarded his advent to the Presidential chair. That his native energy had elevated him from a youth of poverty and labor was reassuring and yet the narrow sphere in which his life had mostly been passed seemed to deprive him of the opportunities of familiarity with the great principles and details of statesmanship requisite for the perilous contingencies of the future.</i>" p3-4</p><p>"<i>Thus with doubt confusion and demoralization around him with no landmarks in the past to serve as a guide for the present or as a precedent for the future did Mr. Lincoln undertake the awful responsibilities of his high position. Thus relying on himself and on the people he boldly set to work to restore the Republic.</i>" p5</p><p>"<i>The country was saved so soon as the people recognized in their President a man who believed that he could save it and who honestly intended to do so. Had Abraham Lincoln done no more than this he would have merited a place between Washington and Jackson. It is a great thing to lift a nation to the highest level of its duties and responsibilities and few men to whom in the world's history the opportunity has been vouchsafed have accomplished the task so thoroughly.</i>" p6</p><p>"<i>And now the momentous question arises before the American people—to whose hands shall be confided the delicate trust of restoring the Union of our fathers</i>" p7</p><p>"<i>The great duty to which Mr. Lincoln has dedicated himself with rare singleness of purpose is the one thought which engrosses every true American heart—the re-establishment of the Union on a permanent basis.</i>" p7</p><p>"<i>The results of the war during the last twelve-month have not shown that the Proclamation was a mistake in military policy.</i>" p9</p><p>"<i>When Mr. Lincoln recommended the plan of compensated emancipation which was adopted by Congress he showed that he recognized fully how great an element of future strife lay in the institution of slavery and how beneficial to the whole country its abolition would be. Moderate in all his opinions he wanted a gradual not a violent change and long after his Emancipation Proclamation was issued he provoked the wrath of the radical emancipationists in Missouri by lending what aid he constitutionally could to the 'conservatives' in that State who desired that the extinction of slavery should be brought about gradually. Possibly in this Mr. Lincoln was mistaken yet if so the error arose from the desire which he has constantly manifested to harmonize the conflicting interests of the country even at the expense of temporary popularity.</i>" p9-10</p><p>"<i>The wisest statesman does not disdain to profit by experience nor can the head of a popular government adopt measures of fundamental change before the people are ripe for them. It is probable that Mr. Lincoln learned much as the war wore on; at all events the people did.</i>" p10</p><p>"<i>There are many who have richly earned the gratitude of the people for eminent services rendered to the Republic in the hour of her trials. There is no one who has so signally centered upon himself the confidence of all. There have been mistakes of detail in military naval and financial matters—mistakes inseparable from the sudden transition from profound and prolonged peace to civil war upon the largest scale. Yet in the general policy of the administration in its principles of statesmanship there have been few errors save those arising from a too generous disbelief in the sincerity of Southern madness.</i>" p11</p><p>"<i>Had Mr. Lincoln moved faster than he has done he would have left the people behind him and lost the support without which no popular government can conduct an exhausting war.</i>" p11</p><p>"<i>As a MAN OF THE PEOPLE understanding them and trusted by them he has proved himself the man for the time.</i>" p12</p><p>"<i>no one can be named who unites like Abraham Lincoln the kindliness and firmness the skill and experience the native sagacity and honesty to bring about an harmonious settlement and to extort from repentant rebels the implicit confidence which those high qualities have won from all loyal men.</i>" p12</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>The Union League Club of Philadelphia formed in 1862 as a patriotic society to support the Union and the policies of the Lincoln administration.

HENRY CHARLES LEA.</b>Printed Pamphlet. <i>No. 18: The Will of the People</i> January – April 1864. 8 pp. 5½ x 8½ in.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>It has been generally assumed that the acts of the President have been the exponents of his own individual convictions. Democrats have censured him for converting the 'war against disunion' into a 'war against slavery.' Radical Republicans have been equally prone to condemn him as a half-hearted Abolitionist who required perpetual stimulation to perform his duty and who is not to be trusted because he did not immediately on his inauguration carry out the views which he had previously expressed of opposition to slavery.</i></p><p>"<i>Both parties seem to have forgotten that our form of government is as purely democratic as can be reduced to a practical system. Our whole political machinery is devised for the purpose of allowing the people to regulate the national policy. The will of the people is supreme.</i>" p3</p><p>"<i>For twenty years prior to his election he had on all fitting occasions expressed his disapprobation of slavery and his desire that it could be constitutionally done away with. Yet in the popular vote which made him President he saw the expression simply of a determination to resist the aggressions of slavery and not the condemnation of the system itself.</i>" p4</p><p>"<i>As the nation changed its views so he was ready to change his policy. When therefore the Emancipation Proclamation made its appearance the people was prepared to welcome that which a year earlier would have aroused a tempest of disapprobation.</i>" p5</p><p>"<i>The next step was the arming of negro troops. In July 1862 Congress authorized the employment of 'persons of African descent' in our armies. The public mind was not yet prepared to accept the assistance of the despised race. The administration accordingly did not press the matter.</i>" p5-6</p><p>"<i>Those who have witnessed the marvellous revolution in public opinion on this subject cannot but admire the manner in which Mr. Lincoln's honest deference to public opinion has produced results which the tact of the cunning statesman might have failed to secure. Taking each step as the voice of the people demanded it he has never been forced to retrace his position. Supported by and supporting the popular feeling he has moved onward in unison with it and each new development has afforded sure foothold for further progress.</i>" p6</p><p>"<i>His Proclamation of Amnesty puts into practical shape the wishes which have long been silently forming themselves in every loyal heart. Again has he divined the will of the people and at the fitting time his acts have responded making as far as his competence extends that will the law of the land. To this intuitive perception of public opinion and this skill in translating it into action Mr. Lincoln owes much of the success of his administration. He is at once the leader and the led.</i>" p7</p><p>"<i>The transitory passions of the multitude are very different from the slowly formed convictions of the people. The President has known to distinguish between them and he has at times shown as lofty a firmness to resist the former as he has ever manifested alacrity to respect the latter. The vital principle of his whole administration has been his recognition of the fact that our Government is simply a machine for carrying into effect THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.</i>" p8</p><p><b>Excerpts from Resolutions Passed January 11 1864:</b></p><p>"<i>And Whereas The Union League of Philadelphia composed as it is of those who having formerly belonged to various parties in this juncture recognize no party but their country; and representing as it does all the industrial mechanical manufacturing commercial financial and professional interests of the city is especially qualified to give in this behalf an unbiased authentic utterance to the public sentiment. Therefore</i>" p2</p><p>"<i>Resolved That we cordially approve of the policy which Mr. Lincoln has adopted and pursued as well as the principles he has announced as the acts he has performed: and that we shall continue to give an earnest and energetic support to the doctrines and measures by which his administration has thus far been directed and illustrated.</i>" p2</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Loyal Leagues also often known as Union Leagues were men's clubs established during the Civil War largely to support the war effort and the policies of the Lincoln administration. They usually consisted of the professional merchant and artisan classes in northern cities. The first such club formed in Philadelphia in 1862.</p><p>This pamphlet written by Henry C. Lea as director of the Union League of Philadelphia's Board of Publication insisted that Lincoln's policies reflected the will of the people. Six years earlier in his first debate with Stephen A. Douglas in August 1858 Lincoln famously said "In this and like communities public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed."</p><p>On April 15 1864 Lea met with Lincoln in Washington and three days later he wrote to Lincoln including two pamphlets he had recently written including this one. He informed Lincoln "I was much gratified to find from your remarks that in one of them—'The Will of the People'—I had to some extent indirectly appreciated the motives which have guided your policy. It appeared to me to present a line of argument likely to be effective before the people & I confess to surprise that it should not have been long since brought more prominently into notice to repel the attacks of radicals & Copperheads." <br /></p><p><b>Henry Charles Lea</b> 1825-1909 was born in Philadelphia and received a classical education from Irish American tutor Eugenius Nulty. Lea showed particular promise in natural history. He joined his father in the publishing business in 1843 but had a nervous breakdown in 1847. While recuperating he read medieval French history and decided to become a historian rather than a scientist. In 1850 he married his first cousin Anna Caroline Jaudon 1824-1912 who was of French Huguenot descent and they had four children between 1851 and 1859. Over the next fifty years Lea produced ten books and numerous articles on medieval institutional legal and ecclesiastical history. During the Civil War Lea was a member of the Union League of Philadelphia and led its Board of Publication. In that role he wrote many of the League's published pamphlets. From 1863 to 1865 he served as a Bounty Commissioner and aided the provost marshal in recruiting soldiers including African Americans. He continued in the publishing business until 1880 when his sons took over the firm. He continued to write and assemble an extensive medieval manuscript collection. He received honorary degrees from both American universities like Harvard Princeton and Pennsylvania and foreign universities in Giessen and Moscow.</p><p><b>Condition</b></p><p>Good with light foxing and toning.</p> books

194256696Chatham Massachusetts 1942. Typed Letter Signed. An interesting one-page letter to Andrew Coddington a soldier at a recruit training center at Fort Hancock NJ now a part of Sandy Hook National Park. On Lincoln's personal stationery dated August 19 1942. Lincoln writes that he has been ill which explains for the tardiness in his response "but be sure that it wasn't due to carelessness." Lincoln then gets personal: "I wonder where you may be just now. Events and people are moving so fast and so far in these strange days that it is hard to keep up with them. Perhaps you are somewhere the other side of the world by this time." Lincoln writes that he wished Coddington well and hopes he can visit him on Cape Cod if he is in the Chatham area. "Wherever you are I hope things are going well with you and that some of these days and in the not too far distant future you will be coming back to Cape Cod again."

192656364Merion Pa. 1926. A typed letter signed on personalized Merion Manor stationery dated March 31 1926. A rather unusual letter responding to a request for a clam chowder recipe. Lincoln states that writer is "asking too much of me when you request the recipe for clam chowder. I agree with you that the variety found in other sections of the country is at best a poor substitute for the real thing." He does say he will consult Mrs. Lincoln for help and then he writes a lengthy postscript explaining the difference between Manhattan and New England clam chowders. He suggests Fannie Farmer's "Boston Cook Book" for a recipe. Then initialed by Lincoln. Single 7.25- by 10.5-inch sheet. Very Good few original folds. <br/><br/> unknown books

Excellent content T.L.S. 4to 1 page personal letterhead New York City July 4th 1986 to socialite Brooke Astor about her just published book.The letter reads in part: ".The Last Blossom on the Plum Tree is a great delight. I was astonished at its technical virtuosity; its recovery of a period style and the flow of its ingenious narrative. You like your invented character are surely a connoisseur of the heart; it's not cynical but it's worldly in the best sense not mondain; but wise. You ought to write a sequel immediately. 1928 is gone; now dawns 1929: think of what happened to all of them in the Wall Street catastrophe; think of how each will behave. How some survive some are redeemed and some are damned. You have an extraordinary gift for portraying an OTHER; not a mirror image of your idiosyncratic self." "I am sending you a very good book about the 1929 crash. I am sure there are many more which you can find in the library but you won%u2019t need much research. You have already your cast of characters; you can choreograph their almost inevitable behavior; I can't wait to see how it all turns out."

Original printed wrappers stitched. 29 3 pp. First Edition.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Excerpts:</b></p><p>"<i>George Washington the father of the American Union who was surrounded by the great statesmen of the Revolution and by others of a still later date…had assembled for the trial of the present incumbent … on charges of the gravest and most serious character. the Spirit of the Constitution…occupied the bench of Justice.</i>" 4-5</p><p>"<i>Abraham Lincoln is herein charged with treasonable intent purposes and designs in having committed the following unconstitutional acts in the course of his administration:</i></p><p>"<i>1. In having declared war against independent and sovereign States under the pretence of repossessing himself of certain forts and other property seized and held by said States.</i></p><p>"<i>2. In having arrested citizens of the United States and incarcerated them in Government bastiles without process of law.</i></p><p>"<i>3. In having suppressed the liberty of speech thereby denying to the citizen the Constitutional right of criticizing the acts of his Administration.</i></p><p>"<i>4. In having prohibited and stopped the publication of certain newspapers for the exercise of the same right referred to in the preceding charge.</i></p><p>"<i>5. In having placed the military above the civil power as shown in the establishment of martial law over portions of the country which were not embraced within the theatre of war.</i></p><p>"<i>6. In overthrowing State sovereignty as in the case of Virginia the integrity of which was violated by the erection of the so-called State of Kanawha within its limits.</i></p><p>"<i>7. In having approved indorsed and partially carried into execution the unconstitutional act of Congress known as the Confiscation Bill.</i></p><p>"<i>8. In having approved of the infamous law known as the Conscription Act which was not only subversive of the Constitution but violative of State sovereignty.</i></p><p>"<i>9. <b>In having attempted to carry into execution the Emancipation Act thereby violating the most sacred guarantees of the Constitution.</b></i> 5-6</p><p>"<i>The criminal looked around the court and on the faces of the assembled patriots of the past but as they returned his gaze they shuddering averted their heads. Then the Spirit of the Constitution addressing him spoke as follows:</i></p><p>"<i>'You have been tried and found wanting. You have been given the opportunity of saving a nation but you have stabbed it to the heart. You were born in the freest country under the sun but you have converted it into a despotism. You have violated your oath; you have betrayed the trust reposed in you by the popular will and to the outraged justice of your countrymen I now leave you with the brand of "Tyrant" upon your brow. They will hereafter inflict upon you that penalty which justice demands while history will pronounce its judgment upon the infamous acts of your Administration.'</i>" 28-29</p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>Contemporaries historians and others have criticized Lincoln for violating state sovereignty freedom of speech and freedom of the press for suspending habeas corpus and imposing martial law. All of these charges figure prominently in this ghostly trial of the President.</p><p>The publisher and possibly author of this pamphlet was John Mulally the Irish-born editor and proprietor of the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> a weekly Catholic family newspaper published from 1859 to 1868 in New York City. From 1859 to March 1863 it was the official organ of the Archbishop John Hughes of New York. Catholic critics accused it of taking an "open and avowedly treasonable course…since the war broke out; but more especially since the President issued his Emancipation Proclamation" and of forcing Archbishop Hughes to withdraw his support.</p><p><i>The Indiana State Sentinel</i> a Democratic newspaper published in Indianapolis printed much of the pamphlet on its front page declaring it "perhaps the most thorough and effective exposition of the terrible character and extent of the departure of the present Administration from the word and spirit of the fathers of the Constitution that has yet been put in print."</p><p>In 1863 authorities arrested Baltimore booksellers Michael J. Kelly and John B. Piet publishers of the <i>Catholic Mirror</i> for printing works of a "treasonable character." On May 23 1864 Provost Marshal detectives again arrested Kelly and Piet and searched their store. Among the "inflammable matter" found were 97 copies of <u>this</u>pamphlet envelopes with rebel flags 57 packs of playing cards with Confederate officers and some 212 Confederate photographs. The authorities imprisoned Kelly and Piet in Fort McHenry. On May 28 Kelly's son received permission to reopen the store and authorities allowed the press to resume publication of the <i>Catholic Mirror</i> on May 30 while Kelly and Piet awaited trial. On June 1 and 2 Major General Lew Wallace ordered Kelly and Piet released if they each posted a $5000 security bond not to violate any departmental regulations.</p><p>In March 1864 Major General William S. Rosecrans a Catholic commander of the Department of the Missouri ordered the Provost Marshal General in St. Louis to seize all issues of the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> to prohibit further distribution of the newspaper in that department and to punish all vendors who sold or distributed issues of the newspaper knowing their "traitorous contents." Rosecrans had read enough in the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> to satisfy himself that "no reasonable freedom nor even license of the press suffice for the traitorous utterances in those articles" and that they were "a libel on the Catholics who as a body are loyal and national." In November 1864 Major General Hugh Ewing commanding the District of Kentucky likewise banned the circulation of the <i>Metropolitan Record</i> and seven other newspapers in his district.</p><p>In the midst of the 1864 presidential election campaign the <i>Metropolitan Record</i>advertised for canvassers to sell this as "the great campaign pamphlet of the day." Mulally later reportedly repudiated McClellan as the Democratic nominee favoring a peace candidate instead.</p><p>111 Eberstadt 332. Monaghan 252. Sabin 41234.
