1863149486Washington: Government Printing Office January 2 1863. Rare first War Department and fifth overall printing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Twelvemo General Orders No. 1 extracted from the larger volume of orders for 1863 4 pages disbound. President Lincoln had intended to issue the order earlier in 1862 but deliberately delayed its release until after the Union's strategic victory at Antietam at which point he announced the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. General Order No. 139 September 22 1862 which declared that all slaves held in rebelling states would be forever free from the first day of January 1863. The text of the final Emancipation Proclamation present in this order is noted for its direct and decisive language: "By the President of the United States of America . That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then thenceforward and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States including the military and naval authority thereof will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons and will do no act or acts to repress such persons or any of them in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom." The first printing for the War Department of General Orders No. 1 was distributed to various military outposts and bureaus throughout the United States. Based on the extensive research of Charles Eberstadt the copy for the War Department was the fifth time the final version of the Emancipation Proclamation appeared in print on January of 1863 following three hastily prepared issues for the State Department and another for Lincoln's hometown Illinois States Journal newspaper in Springfield Illinois. A copy of the War Department Printing was included in the Grolier Club's One Hundred Influential American Books Printed before 1900. Eberstadt 12; Grolier Club One Hundred Influential American Books 71; Streeter 1751. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco case. A scarce work. The Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1 1863 represented a pivotal moment in the trajectory of the American Civil War and the broader struggle over the institution of slavery. Although it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals the proclamation declared that all persons held as slaves in states or parts of states still in rebellion against the United States were to be henceforth free. This executive order grounded in Lincoln's war powers as commander-in-chief was intended primarily as a military measure to weaken the Confederacy by undermining its labor force and discouraging foreign powers from recognizing or supporting the secessionist cause. The proclamation also signaled a significant shift in Union war aims reframing the conflict from a struggle solely to preserve the Union to one explicitly linked to the abolition of slavery. While its immediate legal impact was limited to areas outside Union control the Emancipation Proclamation laid the groundwork for the eventual passage of the Thirteenth Amendment which formally abolished slavery throughout the United States.

186268870New York: The New York Herald 1862. Full Description:<br> <br> LINCOLN Abraham. Emancipation Proclamation."A Proclamation by the President of the United States. Operations of the Confiscation Act. All Slaves in States in Rebellion January 1 1863 to Be Free." New York. Published in: The New York Herald Tuesday September 23 1862. Whole No. 9506.<br> <br> The publication of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in James Gordon Bennett's pro-Democratic New York Herald and one of if not the first official public announcements of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.<br> <br> Broadsheet folio one large leaf folded along top to make four pages two leaves printed on recto and verso. Six-column format. 22 x 15 1/2 inches; 560 x 395 mm. Light creases down the middle in both directions. Some nearly invisible repaird along top margin and edges. Some of the repairs just touching a few letters in the headline. Still a very good copy of this important declaration. We could only find 3 copies of this at auction and it is not mentioned in Eberstadt. Eberstadt mentions that his Third edition of the Emancipation has a publication date somewhere between September 24th and 26th therefore putting the current copy before this. Eberstadt's first and second edition are the official state department editions printed the day of the declaration September 22nd just the day before this New York Herald was printed.<br> <br> Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 1862 stating that if the rebelling states did not cease fighting and rejoin the Union by January 1 1863 the slaves in those states would be set free. The New York Herald issued this front-page top left corner early printing of Lincoln's Proclamation the very next day appearing under the headline: "All Slaves in States of Rebellion January 1 1863 to Be Free."<br> <br> "Lincoln read the first draft of what came to be known as the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet on 22 July 1862. Given the criticism directed at Lincoln for moving too slowly on the issue of emancipation it is worth noting that this first reading took place just sixteen months after he had pledged not to 'interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists.' He continued to revise the document throughout the summer and following the Union victory at Antietam he issued the preliminary proclamation-which managed to balance daring with prudence-on 22 September. This first proclamation essentially gave the Rebel States one hundred days to return to the Union after which period any slaves within their borders would be "then thenceforward and forever free." Any rebellious states that returned to the Union in the interim would be able to adopt immediate or gradual-and compensated-abolition of slavery within their borders."

186210466Washington: Government Printing Office 1862. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. 910 pp. First edition. As issued in publisher's embossed cloth; spine titled "Messages / and / Diplomatic / Correspondence. / 1862 / Ho. Reps." Binding is a trifle sunned at the spine but generally it presents quite nicely; early and occasional tidelines; occasional scattered foxing. <br /> <br /> This contains Lincoln's second "State of the Union" though at that time it was a printed message rather than an address. In this message Lincoln tangles with the year and a half old civil war and his struggle to preserve the Union while wrestling with the central impasse of the rebellion slavery. A remarkable address that contains at the conclusion one of his memorable lines "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves and then we shall save our country" p. 23. Of profound importance and one of Lincoln's boldest moves to "rise with the occasion" this volume contains the 22 September 1862 preliminary Emancipation Proclamation the final version would be issued and enforced a month after Lincoln's message. The idea of an executive action that would free the slaves in states that were in open rebellion with the Union came in the summer of 1862. An early version of the proclamation was read by Lincoln to his cabinet in July 1862. On the advice of Secretary of State William Seward this penultimate version of the proclamation was thought to be more effective if issued after a significant Union victory—that victory turned out to be at Antietam. The Emancipation Proclamation is among the most important documents in United States history and this preliminary version offers a glimpse into Lincoln's steps towards the abolition of slavery in service of the preservation of the Union.

"Den 1 August 1849 wurde ich zu Batavia von dem damaligen holländischen Admiral der die Seemacht in Ostindien kommandierte nur dem holländischen Kriegsschiffe Kurrier angestellt um darauf die Reise nach China und Californien mitzumachen und von da entweder wieder zurück nach Batavia oder um dem Cap Horn herum nach Holland. Da wir vorher wussten dass die Reine eine sehr lange werden würde und wegen zu langer Entbehrung von frischer Nahrung für das Schiffsvolk viele Krankheiten und namentlich Scorbut zu befürchten seien wurden Vorkehrungen getroffen um diesem Uebel so viel als möglich vorzubeugen. Es wurde namentlich darauf gesehen da" die Viktualien wie gesalzene" Fleisch Brod Erbsen Bohnen &c. von der besten Sorte seien ausserdem wurden 20 Fässer mit eingemachten Gurken mitgenommen und für die etwaigen Kranken versahen wir uns mit 30 Flaschen Citronensaft und einer grossen Menge blecherner Gefässe worin Suppen bereits gekochte Gemüse und Fleisch hermetisch verschlossen waren. Die Austheilung der Viktualien auf holländischen Kriegsschiffen ist gewöhnlich folgende: Sonntag: Pudding von weissem Mehl dabei eingesalzenes Rindfleisch. Montag: Erbsensuppe von getrockneten grünen Erbsen mit gesalzenem Schweinefleisch. Dienstag: Reis mit gesalzenem Rindfleisch. Mittwoch: Bohnen mit eingesalzenem Schweinefleisch.

Abraham Lidden Cox 1800-1864 "graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania and spent most of his career in New York. His article published on December 30 describes the first use of sulphuric ether as a surgical anesthetic in New York. Cox discussed several operations including one in which Valentine Mott 1785-1865 removed 'a cluster of tumefied glands from the right axilla.' Cox noted that he had himself had 'repeatedly inhaled the vapor of sulphuric ether as long ao as the year 1822 and as I had seen it inhaled repeatedly by others I was desirous of trying on myself the effects of this agent . and I recognized precisely the sensations which I had formerly experienced from the effects of ether."
