1885233835Charles L. Webster & Co. 1885. First Edition. Hardcover. Poor. Yes it is the scarcest of the first editions. But I see only one or two online offerings of this work in worse condition than this one. The leather is heavily scuffed hinges are cracked although the bindings are still relatively firm the front gutter of Vol. II is split and the cloth is dampstained across the upper 10% to 20% of the covers and is separating from all four boards. The water damage affects the text blocks to a varying degree. On most pages it extends only an inch or so from the top. In a few cases including one of the plates the damage is to most of the page. Perhaps the only bright spot is that both of the fold-outs are intact and undamaged. Charles L. Webster & Co. hardcover

1885895 - 323 - 604<p>Salesman's Sample of the Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant</p><p><strong>Publisher and Year</strong>: New York: Charles L. Webster and Company 1885</p><p><strong>Edition</strong>: Salesman's sample issued prior to the publication of Grant's memoirs. These samples known also as <em>dummies</em> or <em>prospectuses</em> were at the center of the door-to-door campaign that made Grant's memoirs one of the best-selling books of the late 19th century. Because the book was not complete salesmen were equipped with these prospectuses to showcase to prospective customers. These were truncated mock-ups of the finished work containing selected chapters steel engravings and mounted binding samples spine strips representing cloth sheep and half morocco. Bound into each prospectus were order forms on which salesmen could record each customer's name address and preferred binding cloth sheep half morocco full morocco tree calf. All of the binding options were costly; adjusted for inflation they ranged from approximately $234 to $835. Mark Twain the co-owner of the publishing house and orchestrator of the sales campaign deliberately recruited Civil War veterans as salesmen and encouraged them to wear their uniforms recount wartime experiences and frame the purchase as a patriotic act in support of the financially distressed former president. Produced solely as temporary sales tools and never intended to survive most of these samples were heavily worn from use discarded or destroyed. Surviving examples seldom appear in commerce.</p><p><strong>Description of the Contents:</strong> Thin octavo front and rear boards stamped in gilt spine bare as issued floral endpapers. Contains abbreviated portions of the to-be-published first and second volumes including both title pages and steel-engraving portraits of Grant with tissue guards; several chapters of completed text; and tipped-in sheets indicating where foldout materials would be located. Tipped onto the front and rear pastedowns are spine strips representing three of the binding options cloth sheep and half morocco. After the sample text there are tipped-in notices that inform salesmen about the publisher's efforts to combat unauthorized imitations of Grant's memoirs the possibility of legal action against the responsible publishers the availability of the book only by subscription with the firm's agents and an announcement that Grant completed writing both volumes. The volume concludes with page listing the prices of the five binding options and a series of ruled pages on which the salesman could record customer's orders.</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>Boards worn soiled and stained; gilt rubbed but fairly bright; tips pushed with some exposure; edges rubbed. Tight hinges and binding. Closed tear to the top and bottom of the front free endpaper and one open tear to the bottom. Mild tanning of the leather spine strips on the front pastedown to the front free endpaper and heavy tanning to the subsequent blank leaf as usual. Pages tanned with occasional minor imperfections and handling marks including scattered finger smudging. One order page is filled out on four lines. The rest of the order pages are unfilled and the last has been torn out.</p><p><em>"The natural disposition of most people is to clothe a commander of a large army whom they do not know with almost superhuman abilities. A large part of the National army for instance and most of the press of the country clothed General Lee with just such qualities but I had known him personally and knew that he was mortal; and it was just as well that I felt this."</em></p><p>Inventory ID: 895 - 323 - 604</p> Charles L.

18653069006/06/1865. <blockquote><p>He is confident that “the men will do me the justice to believe that all my sympathies are with them.â€</p></blockquote><p>Ulysses S. Grant through his intelligence determination iron will and patriotism was the military man most responsible for leading the United States through the greatest time of crisis and chaos in the nation’s history. As general of the Army during the Civil War he commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers leading the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy. Moreover all recognized that his strategy had compelled Lee and the Confederacy to fight the kind of war they could not win. Later as president he guided the nation through Reconstruction helping to bind the wounds between North and South while empowering newly freed African Americans.</p><p>After Lee’s surrender as the troops began to come home municipalities all over the North sought to give them all the kind of reception appropriate to victors. Grant was invited to some of these so many that he could not attend them all.</p><p><strong>Autograph letter signed</strong> two pages on Head Quarters Armies of the United States letterhead Washington D.C. June 61865 to C.T. Jones H.W. Gray T.A. Barlow A.M. Fox and S. G. King a committee who had invited Grant to a celebratory reception for returning volunteer troops in Philadelphia. Grant had to decline the invitation because he was due to attend the Great Northwest Fair in Chicago on the same date. In his letter to the committee Grant summed up his deep feelings for his men and the debt the nation owed the Union troops who had saved the Union.</p><p><em>“Your invitation for me to be in Philadelphia on Saturday night at the reception to be given by the citizens to the returning is received. Having already engaged to be present at the Great Northwest Fair now being held in Chicago Ill. on the same day it will be impossible for me to attend.</em></p><p><em>""The achievements of our volunteers for the last four years entitles them to the lasting gratitude of all loyal people and I therefore rejoice at the enthusiastic reception which they are everywhere receiving. It is not likely that I shall be present at any of these receptions but I know the men will do me the justice to believe that all my sympathies are with them.""</em></p><p>We don’t ever recall seeing another Grant letter articulating his feelings about the soldiers he commanded nor about the debt of gratitude Americans owed them for the victory.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-25018"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown
