186337487Boston 1863. Folio broadside 9-1/4" x 13-1/2". Printed beneath the caption in three columns each column separated by a rule. Blank upper left corner with a slight smudge. Very Good plus.<br/><br/> The Society founded in 1863 published numerous articles to promote support for the Union emancipation and victory. Its folio broadsides are far scarcer than the octavo imprints of the Loyal Publication Society in Philadelphia.<br/> The first of several articles reports on the stunning election results in Pennsylvania and Ohio: "The people of this country-- the great democratic masses-- without regard to parties or prejudices are determined to maintain their government in all its integrity and strength. Both the peace men of the North and the war men of the South received a stunning blow yesterday." In Ohio the traitor Vallandigham "has been beaten by an unprecedented majority." And in Pennsylvania the Copperhead Woodward has been repudiated. Another article expresses hope that the small farmers of the South and "are thoroughly tired of the war."<br/> The final article reports on Kentucky's Joseph Holt's advocacy of the use of Negro soldiers. <br/>Sabin 52696 reference. unknown books
186334187Boston 1863. Folio broadside printed in three columns 9-1/2" x 16-1/2". Printed in three columns beneath the caption Very Good.<br/><br/> The Society founded in 1863 published numerous articles to promote support for the Union emancipation and victory. The first essay "a letter of an eminent Englishman" expresses dismay at the London Times's support for the Confederacy "a thing which I should have thought impossible." Englishmen support "the federal cause by a great majority." The second essay delights in the victory of the Union party in Maryland and "the sudden development of a radical emancipation sentiment in Maryland in Missouri and in West Virginia. The same phenomenon is manifesting itself slowly in Kentucky rapidly in Tennessee Louisiana and North Carolina." A third piece recites the "Rebel Terms of Peace" as stated by the Richmond Enquirer: "the North must yield all-- we nothing." Finally an article from the Boston Transcript entitled 'The Contraband Question in the South-West' urges "the most sure and vigorous means to get every able-bodied black under arms."<br/>Sabin 52696 reference. The Society's broadsides are scarce. The Library Company owns several but not this one. We note a location at Gettysburg College. The Rubinstein Collection at Duke owns some Society broadsides but evidently not this one. unknown books
