186340887New York: Office of the Metropolitan Record 1863. Original printed wrappers. Stitched. 29 1 blank 1- advertisement for 'The Washington Despotism Dissected' 1 blank pp. Light wear and fox. 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'."

1865005102<p>Philadelphia: Barclay & Co. 1864 1865 1865. FIRST EDITION. 1 vol. 9-1/4" x 5-3/4" original pictorial wrappers illustrated pagination irregular but complete original stitching completely unsophisticated without repairs internally clean and bright mild general handling but surely one of the nicest copies you're going to encounter VERY GOOD. McDade 623 According to RBH only 2 copies have ever appeared at auction. The last one in 2008. Variant issue mentioned by Howes with the illustration of the execution moved to p 96; also with misprint of copyright date as "1864". Featuring engraved portrait of Mary Surratt on cover. The assassination of Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth on the night of April 14 1865 need no retelling. Time however which has its own way with our judgments has raised some doubts about some of these. The unfairness of the military tribunal is now manifest and the guilt of Mrs. Surratt is certainly doubtful. This was amply demonstrated by the fact that only two years after the crime the government could not obtain the conviction of her son John Surratt in the civil courts in Washington.</p> Philadelphia: Barclay & Co., 1864 [1865]

An advertisement for the Tribune and the Tribune Almanac fills the bottom two thirds of the last page. <br /> <br /> "Most authentic of Lincoln campaign biographies" - Howes.

With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on rear wrapper. 8vo. Stitched self-wrappers minor toning minor chip to terminal leaf. First edition Monaghan's first issue. 1 2-15 1pp. Lincoln's speech comprises pages 1-11 out of a total of 16 pages. With New York Tribune ads and subscription terms on rear wrapper. 8vo. This address made at the Cooper Institute in New York on February 27 1860 catapulted Lincoln into the public eye and made him a viable presidential candidate. Indeed many historians have considered it the key to his success in the 1860 election and it is probably the most important speech Lincoln made after the Gettysburg Address and his inaugural addresses.<br /> <br /> The Cooper Union address was months in preparation; Lincoln was fully aware of its importance in moving himself from a regional favorite son to a viable national candidate. In the event some 1500 people including many prominent political figures attended on a snowy new York evening. The speech divides into three major parts. In the first Lincoln addressed the spread of slavery arguing that the framers of the constitution had been opposed to it and that the Federal government could regulate the question. In the second he argued that the Republicans were not a sectional Northern party and attacked the threats of southern Democrats to secede if the Republicans should win the election. Finally he addressed his fellow Republicans calling on them to act carefully and do "nothing through passion and ill temper.Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."<br /> <br /> The Cooper Union speech was a resounding success. Horace Greeley described it as "one of the happiest and most convincing political arguments ever made in this City. No man ever made such an impression on his first appeal to a New York audience." Greeley quickly issued the speech in the form of this "Tribune Tract." It includes a final page of advertisements for other Tribune publications. The speech was later widely reprinted and made Lincoln nationally famous.<br /> This printing differs from other editions by its inclusion of a speech by James Doolittle Senator from Wisconsin and the message of Samuel Medary Democratic governor of the Kansas Territory vetoing the Kansas abolition bill.<br /> <br /> "The Cooper Union address tested whether Lincoln's appeal could extend from the podium to the page and from the rollicking campaigns of the rural West to the urban East. Cooper Union held the promise of transforming Lincoln from a regional phenomenon to a national figure. Lincoln knew it and rose to the occasion" Harold Holzer Lincoln at the Copper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President. Monaghan 50 Office of the New York Tribune unknown

1834ABC_45429Noordwijk 1834. Folio 23 x 38.5 cm & 26 x 44 cm. 2 autograph letters each written on a single leaf and folded for posting with the address and remnants of a seal. 2 ll. Both letters were written by Abraham Hendrik Verster van Wulverhorst 1797-1882 living in Noordwijk Binnen near Leiden as a forester in the Dutch province of Zuid-Holland he was Inspecteur der Opperhoutvesterij. The present letters contain detailed observations on the Salamander punctata probably the European spotted salamandar now designated Salamandra salamandra. The letters further offer laudatory words regarding Heinrich Boie 1794-1827 who had also worked at the Rijksmuseum but had left for the Dutch East Indies to study the Southeast Asian fauna and sadly had died there in 1827. Also interesting remarks by Verster as a bird watcher on the bird migration: he had observed that the gallingo snipe and the rusticola woodcock were very early that year.The edges of the second letter are frayed.
