First issue with all points as called for by Monaghan no line over the publisher's slug on title verso and the number 2 at the foot of page 17. Collates viii 268 pages: lacking front endpaper else complete. Some light scattered foxing as is common in American imprints of this era but in all a tight pleasing copy of this book documenting an important moment in American politics.<br/><br/>Documenting Lincoln and Douglas' rivalry for the 1858 U.S. Senate race this title captures an important moment of flux for American politics. Just beginning his political career the young Lincoln earned the Republican nomination right as the party was forming; and he already had proven himself "a leading figure because of his adroit and earnest dealing with the problem of slavery" Oxford Companion. One of his great strenghts was his eloquence -- something Lincoln put on full display in these debates against Douglas including the utterance of one of his most memorable lines that "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Though Lincoln lost the Senate in 1858 he had managed to develop a national reputation and in 1860 the year of this book's release would win the Presidency.<br/><br/>Monaghan 69.

186335588Auburn N.Y. 1863. Broadside 8" x 12-1/4". Very Good.<br/><br/> Congressman Pomeroy of Auburn who represented New York in Congress during the Civil War years and early Reconstruction has high praise for Colonel Clark serving on the staff of General Banks and recently wounded in the advance on Port Hudson. In the earliest days of the War during the Baltimore disorders he "mingled during the day and following night with the populace and rioters gathered all possible information and on the following morning returned to Washington and laid the information before the military authorities. Communications with Annapolis being cut off he accepted the hazardous position of bearer of dispatches from the War Department to Gen'l Butler and of the seventeen messengers sent on that mission was the only one who succeeded in reaching his destination without arrest and that was accomplished only by a night march on foot of twenty-five miles in a country with which he was unfamiliar and by swimming the Patuxent within sound of the voices of the enemies sentinels." <br/>OCLC 768761257 1- Allen Cy Pub.
