1858376861Springfield IL 1858. 8pp. printed in double columns. 8vo. Unbound. Minor toning. Housed in a cloth box. 8pp. printed in double columns. 8vo. The only separate printing of this address given by Lincoln at Springfield Illinois. Lincoln's speech which preceded his debates with Douglas puts forth the great themes that marked his political philosophy during the last ten years of his life. More importantly it firmly placed Lincoln as against the expansion of slavery and Douglas on the opposite side of the issue. By targeting Douglas a strategy that resurrected Lincoln's political career he made his fellow Illinoisan out to be the embodiment of the wicked forces safeguarding slavery's expansion . This speech is Lincoln's opening salvo against Douglas for the 1858 senate campaign: 'Free men of Illinois - free men of everywhere - judge ye between him and me'" Abraham Lincoln: His Life in Print p. 67<br /> <br /> Urging that slavery be placed on course for "ultimate extinction" he repeats his "House Divided" warning first given at the State Republican Convention a month earlier. He insists that the Kansas-Nebraska bill was "the beginning of a conspiracy" to nationalize slavery. Attacking Douglas and defending himself against the charge that he would "invite a war of sections" he stands on "the principles of our Declaration of Independence." Though African Americans are not the equal of whites "in all respects" the Declaration "does mean to declare that all men are equal in some respects; they are equal in the right to 'life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'" Most significantly "In the right to put into his mouth the bread that his own hands have earned he is the equal of every other man white or black."<br /> <br /> A scarce Lincoln speech.

185520487Berlin: Kornek 1855. Hardcover. g. 8vo. 2 238 8 pp. Blue cloth with decorative gold lettering in English on spine. The author Abraham ben Nathan a.k.a the Rabn ha-Yarhi was born in the second half of the 12th century. He began this work in 1204. The extreme importance of this work goes well beyond the limited influence it had on the history of Jewish legal codes for it contains numerous literal quotations from the two Talmuds and most of the halakhic and haggadic Midrashim as well as from certain collections of the Haggadot which have been wholly lost; so that the "Manhig" contributes considerably to the textual criticism of all of those works. Text in Hebrew. Pp. 1-18 are detached but present. Minor foxing and marginal pencil and pen marks and underlining throughout. Long inscription in pen on front endpaper with notes taken from the Jewish Encyclopedia entry regarding the author. Book is in overall good condition. Kornek hardcover
