186036919np 1860. 8pp caption title as issued. Disbound with a bit of loosening light inner margin spotting. Good.<br/><br/> Lincoln's great Cooper Union Address argues that the Framers and early Congresses contemplated a narrow and ever-diminishing role for slavery. Examining Constitutional and early Congressional debates he demonstrates that contemporary statesmen viewed slavery "as an evil not to be extended but to be tolerated and protected only because of and so far as its actual presence among us makes that toleration and protection a necessity." <br/> Lincoln's argument fusing the interests of all anti-slavery men whether abolitionists or not ranks among his greatest contributions to American political thought. It received wide press coverage catapulting him into presidential contention for it transported the new Republican Party into the center of American constitutional and legal thinking rather than to an unacceptable extreme. He thus made it easy for moderate Northern Democrats Whigs and Know-Nothings to vote Republican in 1860.<br/>Monaghan 55. LCP 5944. unknown books
198825224Brooklyn College: Institute for Studies in American Music. 1988. First Edition; First Printing. Softcover. Wraps near fine but for very discreet brackets at a few paragraphs. This copy belonged to jazz critic and scholar Chadwick Hansen co-editor with Art Hodes of Selections from the Gutter and it contains his few marks but the book is not identified as such and does not contain his name. In this short work Collier refutes in detail two jazz myths: 1 Americans were horrified by jazz when it first burst onto the scene of popular music and 2 jazz was more appreciated in Europe than it was at home in the US; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 93 pp .

186085724Chicago: Charles Leib 1860. Very Good. Four-page newspaper. A couple of small holes various brown spots and other bits of minor wear A campaign newspaper for Abraham Lincoln in the Presidential Campaign of 1860. We note a half-column story on the front page of this issue that accuses Senator Douglas of being a Roman Catholic -- a charge based partly on the fact that Mrs. Douglas was a Catholic as were their children -- probably an effective charge in largely Protestant mid-19th century America. Our brief research suggests that Douglas was not a Catholic or a formal member of any other organized religious group. The purpose of another half-column story on the front page was to make it clear that Lincoln had publicly condemned the actions of John Brown and did not object to Brown's execution. Charles Leib the editor was a political operative with a murky background who had previously edited a Democratic campaign newspaper on behalf of the Buchanan campaign in 1856. Leib served briefly as an Assistant Quartermaster in the Union Army before heading to new Mexico probably in 1863 and died there in 1865 at the age of 38. <br/><br/> Charles Leib unknown books
1860WRCAM37633New York: Currier & Ives 1860. Lithograph 13 1/2 x 18 inches. Moderate age-toning foxing and soiling. Moderate browning in margins. Small closed tears and chips in margins one moderate-size closed tear in left margin. A fair copy. A lithographic political cartoon published by Currier & Ives commenting upon the anti- slavery plank of the 1860 Republican platform. "The 'essential' anti-Lincoln cartoon of 1860" - Holzer et al. Abraham Lincoln is shown being carried uncomfortably in the middle of a split wooden rail an allusion to both the platform and to Lincoln's backwoods origins. Supporting the left end of the rail is a black man in simple working clothes who states "Dis N asterisks ours strong and willin' but its awful hard work to carry Old Massa Abe on nothing but dis ere rail!!" Holding the right end of the rail is well-dressed newspaper editor and strong Lincoln supporter Horace Greeley identified by a copy of his NEW YORK TRIBUNE in his coat pocket. Greeley tells Lincoln "We can prove that you have split rails & that will ensure your election to the Presidency." Lincoln replies "It is true I have split rails but I begin to feel as if this rail would split me it's the hardest stick I ever straddled." Lincoln is depicted - visually and thematically - as a straddler at best while the images of Greeley and the African American supporting the rail are derisive. <br> <br> A finely drawn and insightful political cartoon from the 1860 election.

1862WRCAM55729Boston: J.M. Forbes 1862. 7pp. Miniature 3 1/4 x 2 1/8 inches. Original printed salmon wrappers. Slight soiling to wrappers light tanning. Very good. In a cloth chemise and half morocco and cloth slipcase spine gilt. The first and only contemporary printing of Lincoln's historic act in separate pamphlet form the seventh edition overall. The preliminary proclamation of the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on September 22 1862 shortly following the Battle of Antietam and declared the freedom of all slaves in any Confederate state that did not return to Union control by January 1 1863. A quotation by Alexander Stephens "Vice President of the so-called Confederate States" entitled "Slavery the Chief Corner- Stone" is printed on the rear wrapper. This small pamphlet was printed by John Murray Forbes in Boston for distribution by Union soldiers to blacks at the front lines and legend has it that he printed a million copies. Its scarcity in institutions and in the market however would seem to belie that notion; it is among the rarest of editions of the Proclamation no doubt because of its small size.

186037152New York: Currier & Ives 1860. Lithograph broadside 13-1/2" x 18." Several closed tears two of them repaired with old tape on verso tear line affecting Seward's midsection. Good.<br/><br/> This scarce lithograph is a detailed humorous "parody on the field of presidential candidates and their supporters in the 1860 campaign." Bell and Everett for the Constitutional Union Party are there: Bell a muscle man holds Everett aloft on a barbell. Horace Greeley's "political ambitions are mocked by the artist who shows him vainly attempting to climb up a horizontal bar." Lincoln is at the center: he has "successfully mounted a balance beam constructed of wooden rails." The New York Courier's James Watson Webb's does a backward somersault in the foreground. <br/> The broadside evidently issued after the parties' nominating Conventions because Seward is depicted as a cripple "on crutches and with bandaged feet." Breckinridge and Douglas "the two sectional Democratic candidates compete in a boxing match."<br/>Reilly 1860-34 quotations are from Reilly. Weitenkampf 123.

We are in favor furthermore of such an amendment to the Constitution to be made by the people in conformity with its provisions as shall terminate and forever prohibit the existence of Slavery within the jurisdiction of the United States.Resolved That the foreign immigration which in the past has added so much to the wealth and development of resources and increase of power to this nation the asylum of the oppressed of all nations should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy."
