Quarto 292 pages; VG-; newly rebound in quarter blue leather blue cloth covered boards paneled spine with burgundy label and gilt titling; page edges brittle pages age-toned; upper fore corner of first 96 pages clipped; text in Yiddish; scarce; shelved case 4. Isaac Aboab was an early 14th century Spanish Talmudic scholar and Kabbalist. "The Menorah of Light" is a collection of midrashic sermons. Per the Jewish Encyclopedia: "It has won considerable fame for the author though in his humility he assures his readers that he composed it chiefly for his own use as a public speaker. But besides this it has contributed probably more than any other medieval book to the popularization of rabbinical lore and to the religious edification and elevation of the masses. It belongs to that class of ethical works which sprang up in the thirteenth century in a time of reaction against the one-sided manner in which the Talmudic studies had been previously pursued.'. It was published with a Spanish translation Leghorn 1657 with a Hebrew commentary and a Judæo-German translation by Moses Frankfurter Amsterdam 1701 with a modern German translation by Fürstenthal and Behrend Krotoschin 1844-46. It was translated also into Yiddish Wilna 1880.";. 1331695. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Defus Sh. Y. Fin, A. Ts. Rosenḳrants, M.M. Shrifá¹zeá¹tser hardcover books

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

Good.<br/><br/> Abraham Paul was a successful busy New York publisher and printer. "William and Peter C. Smith publishers were charged with conspiracy to ruin the business of another publisher Abraham Paul. They placed fictitious orders with him and cut the price of their edition of a Bible commentary which was also published by Paul" Cohen. This trial pamphlet prints the indictment and summarizes statements of counsel the testimony the charge of the court to the jury. <br/> William Smith had "made unfriendly declarations against Paul as to his business." He had also made statements of his intention to "take every advantage of Paul he could." Other circumstances and declarations indicated his guilt; but the evidence against Peter Smith was very shaky. The court indicated that a verdict of 'Not Guilty' was appropriate and the jury agreed. Since the defendants had been charged with conspiracy and the involvement of Peter was doubtful no conspiracy existed. Hence the acquittal.<br/>Cohen 12219. Sabin 103189.

McClellan. Although McClellan had been the commander of the Army of the Potomac and general-in-chief of the Union Army the Peace platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago declared the war a failure. The party was bitterly divided between War Democrats who favored continuing the war to restore the Union while leaving slavery alone; moderate Peace Democrats who favored an armistice and a negotiated peace that would likely protect slavery in a reconstructed union and radical Peace Democrats who favored an immediate end to the war without securing Union victory. McClellan was a War Democrat but the platform was written by radical Peace Democrat Clement Vallandigham and Peace Democrat George H. Pendleton was nominated for vice president.</p><p>In 1864 Republicans created the National Union Party to attract War Democrats Unconditional Unionists and Unionist Party members who would not vote for the Republican Party though most state Republican parties did not change their name. President Abraham Lincoln won the nomination of the "National Union Party" at its Baltimore convention and won re-election with new running mate War Democrat Andrew Johnson.</p><p>Although Lincoln was convinced by August 1864 that he would not be reelected General William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta in early September and General Philip Sheridan's successes in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia from August to October ensured his victory. Without the participation of the seceded states Lincoln and Johnson won 55 percent of the popular vote and an overwhelming 212-to-21 victory in the Electoral College. McClellan and Pendleton carried only Kentucky Delaware and McClellan's home state of New Jersey.</p> books
