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

1864101729Np New York: For sale by all News Agents. Price $1 per 100. 1864. 4to. Broadside text in two columns; creased from prior folding and split at creases some toning and paper clip rust staining. Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.
