1864428New York: Frederic A. Brady 1864. 8vo. 312 pp. plus 1 p. ads. Frontispiece caricature of the author at work. Bound in green publisher's cloth gilt decoration of the author on front board blind tooled decorated cloth; binding showing some wear and discoloration. Owners signature of Rufus Munyan Co. D. 18. C.V. Company D 18th Connecticut Volunteers. First edition. Comical narrative by a delusionary "adviser" to Lincoln whose letters pointedly featured the absurdities of war and the madness of the public administration during the 1860's. Barber's view is reflective of many New York writers whose view of Lincoln and the war was decidedly Democratic challenging the ferocity of the Radical Republicans who controlled Washington. Written by the satirist Joseph Barber who also published Crumbs from the Round Table 1866 and The American Book of Ready Made Speeches 1866. The anonymous illustration which introduces the text captures the manic nature of the author with a statue of Lincoln looming over his shoulder Wright Fiction II 210.

1864191680New York: Frederic A. Brady Publisher 1864. Hardcover. 312p. frontis cartoon man writing at desk preface publisher's note peculiar bookplate on pastedown faint dampstain throughout with a touch of foxing first edition in blind-pressed and gilt-decorated gray cloth boards a poor copy: pervasive dust-soil the gilt titlings and cover vignette but a memory heavy wear to edges corners head and tail of spine external fading and light staining &c within as noted. On a less disapproving note the hinges are sound and handleable. Humorous writings related to Abraham Lincoln and the efforts of the North against the South. A measure how inrigued Americans were with their amazingly quotable president; most of the sketches here presented as anecdotes and "verbatim" dialogue are made-up stuff but in the spirit.
