During his tenure which was cut short by his assassination in 1865 he saw the country through the Civil War and stewarded Emancipation. Carl August Sandburg's 1878-1967 biography The Prairie Years traces the early part of Lincoln's life and the formation of a man who would go on to be president up until his move to Washington. Sandburg would also publish additional volumes covering Lincoln's war years. Hailed as a voice of American Sanburg would win one of his three Pulitzer Prizes for this compelling biography.<br /> <br /> Monaghan 2877. Near Fine. Harcourt, Brace and Company unknown
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 neither a Catholic nor 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 an unclear 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. Charles Leib unknown

About Very Good.<br /> <br /> The Metropolitan Record whose Prospectus is printed on the rear wrapper calls itself "an unswerving opponent of fanaticism in every form and an advocate of constitutional liberty and the rights of the citizens against despotic usurpation." <br /> This pamphlet is "A mock trial wherein Lincoln was charged with treasonable intent purposes and designs and of having committed among other unconstitutional acts the following: 'Declared War against Sovereign States under pretence of repossessing himself of certain forts and other property; arresting citizens without process of law; suppressed liberty of speech; stopped publication of certain newspapers; placed the military power above the civil power; overthrown State Sovereignty; forced unconstitutional acts through Congress.' At the conclusion of the trial the Court addressed the 'Criminal' as follows: '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 have converted your country into a despotism'."

First edition 8vo 20.5 x 13 cm; xiv 96; 291 7 pp.; contemporary polished calf gilt contrasting red morocco lettering-piece early inked initials letters and shelfmark to front pastedown nineteenth-century ink inscription to rear pastedown; slightly rubbed with a small chip to head of spine and some light scuffing to boards one or two paper-flaws to page numbers small hole to I2 barely touching a single character of text occasional mark light damp-staining to rear endpapers else a very crisp and clean copy. <br /> The earliest translation to English of the Jewish prayer-book.<br /><br />This comprehensive and occasionally rather critical study of Jewish life and practices is dominated by the first English translation of any part of the Siddur the definitive Jewish prayer-book. Translated by Abraham Mears under the pseudonym of Gamaleil Ben Pedahzur according to Roth an apostate member of the English Ashkenazi community it was intended as an exposition of Judaism rather than a service book but in providing phonetic translations of the Hebrew title of each prayer Mears explicitly promotes its use 'to Beginners in the Hebrew Tongue' and 'all Persons that resort to the Synagogues'. The transliterated Hebrew title for each prayer is found in the margins enabling the curious non-Hebrew reading Christian to attend and follow a synagogue service. The transliteration of the Hebrew characters provides a clue as to how Hebrew was pronounced in the eighteenth-century Ashkenazi community of London.<br /><br />The book was not intended for liturgical use but rather for scholarly readership so it is not in effect a prayer-book. It reflects the growing interest in Judaism on the part of non-Jewish Englishmen of the eighteenth century.<br /> ESTC T86072; Roth B8:6. London, Printed for J. Wilcox, 1738. hardcover
