Book
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Fine condition faux red leather boards with elaborately illustrated gold front cover perimeter and spine decorations, gold front cover lettering, and gold spine lettering over a black block border. Includes Editor's Comment and Acknowledgments. Major chapter headings are as follows: Wisdom; Benjamin Franklin; History; Beauty; and Business. "Sometimes it seems almost futile to try to write anything new because it has all been said before - and so well said. Of course, any such defeatism must lead to a dead end of accomplishment in terms of literary effort. Fortunately for the living and those to come, there are many bright new stars on the panel of contemporary writers. They are skillfully telling the story of these eventful days and their words will be read with relish by future generations. In fact, the printed word today is so prolific, and the competition with the book, the magazine and the newspaper is so great, future generations will require anthologies in great number to know what our bright literary stars have said. In this anthology there has bee no effort to be erudite, consistent, unusual or educational. The prime purpose is to amuse by exposing the reader to many things he has read before and may wish to read again. Perhaps that poem he [or she] HAD to learn, to pass freshman English, is here. He may even enjoy rereading it under different auspices. It is not possible to include only those things that appeal to him. If he dislikes poetry in any form, we hope he will please forgive us. Some of us like the "well-turned couplet." On the other hand, there are those who love Shakespeare, but just cannot understand how his hallowed words should appear with some of the more commonplace choices that have arrived in this selection. It takes all kinds you know - and we have tried to select all kinds of literature." - excerpt from Editor's Comment.

No binding. Condition: Fair. Frank Leslie s Illustrated Newspaper (illustrator). Newspaper, Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, New York, December 5, 1863. 16 pp., complete. "and that Government of the people, for the people, and for all people, shall not perish from earth."As printing technology advanced through the middle decades of the nineteenth century, illustrated newspapers grew in popularity even though their engravings added a few weeks to press time. Leslie's printing-from December 5-includes an article containing the full text of Lincoln's timeless speech (page 11). Illustrations include a centerfold spread with the formal dedication ceremony prominently placed, and smaller views of Union and rebel graves, defensive works, Meade's headquarters, and a view of the town (centerfold). A large illustration of "The War in Tennessee-Lookout Mountain and Its Vicinity" appears on the front page.There is no definitive text that captures exactly how Lincoln spoke that day, though the AP reporter's text is most familiar. Leslie's printing, following the Philadelphia Enquirer version, contains variations, most notably in the final two sentences regarding the nation's unfinished work and closing phrase of "Government of the people, for the people, and for all people" rather than "of the people, by the people, and for the people." Excerpt:"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this Continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing the question whether this nation, or any nation, so conceived, so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on the great battle-field of that war. We are met to dedicate it, on a portion of the field set apart as the final resting place of those who gave their lives for the nation's life; but the nation must live, and it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. In a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground in reality. The number of men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor attempts to add to its consecration. The world will little know and nothing remember of what we see here, but we cannot forget what these brave men did here. We own this offering to our dead. We imbibe increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; we here might resolve that they shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that Government of the people, for the people, and for all people, shall not perish from earth."Historical BackgroundThough November 20th imprints are the most valuable newspaper publications of the Gettysburg Address, none are as lavish as this issue of Leslie's, and none show the cemetery or provide images of the ceremony. It is also interesting to note that the leading illustrated newspaper, Harper's Weekly, did not publish the Address or illustrate the ceremony. This Leslie's issue, published in far smaller quantities than Harper's, is quite scarce.Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper was founded in 1852 and published until 1922. Originally established by Illustrated London News owner Frank Leslie (1821-1880), the weekly continued under the guidance of his widow, suffragette Miriam Florence Leslie, from 1880 until 1902, when she sold the highly recognizable brand. Specializing in patriotic topics and heavily reporting war efforts from the Civil War to World War I, the newspaper also covered Arctic exploration, the Klondike Gold Rush, strikes, and sporting events. Civil War reporting and illustration was among the paper's most successful ventures.Historical BackgroundLincoln's speech, delivered at Gettysburg National Cemetery on November 19, 1863, has endured as a supreme distillation of American values. Over the past 150 years, it has become a compelling testament to the sacrifices required to achieve freedom for all Americans. Lincoln. (See website for full description). Newspaper.

No binding. Condition: Fine. Frank Leslie (illustrator). Lithograph. "Grand Reception of the Notabilities of the Nation, at the White House 1865," New York: Frank Leslie, [April] 1865. 1 p., 19 x 23 3/4 in. Frank Leslie published this print as a premium for his new family magazine, Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner, and copyrighted it on April 8, 1865, just a week before Lincoln's death. The image, created by engraver Henry B. Major and lithographer Joseph Knapp, portrays Lincoln, flanked by the First Lady and Vice President Andrew Johnson, greeting Julia Dent Grant, wife of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant who stands nearby.According to a notice printed at the bottom right corner, "Every Person who pays Ten Cents each for numbers 1 and 2 of Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner, The New Family Paper, is entitled to a copy of this PLATE without extra charge," or individuals could purchase the print for $3. In the first issue of The Chimney Corner, Leslie described the "Grand Reception" image as "the most costly gift plate ever presented by any publisher in the United States, having been produced at an expense of $10,000.""Every family should possess this truly national picture, and carefully preserve it," Leslie continued, "as it will transmit to future generations the men who have restored our great national unity. It is especially valuable, as it contains an excellent likeness of our late lamented President, introducing General Grant and his wife to Mrs. Lincoln." The picture contains "nearly 100 portraits of our most celebrated Generals, Statesmen and Civilians, also of many of our most distinguished American ladies. The likenesses are admirable, having been taken from photographs by Brady."[1]The key, giving the names of each individual portrait was published in issue number 4 of the Chimney Corner, on June 24.Included in the image are Generals Ulysses S. Grant, John G. Foster, William T. Sherman, Hugh J. Kilpatrick, Nathaniel P. Banks, Philip H. Sheridan, Winfield S. Hancock, John A. Logan, Joseph Hooker, Benjamin F. Butler, Oliver O. Howard, John A. Dix, and Henry W. Slocum. Admirals David Farragut and David Dixon Porter represent the Navy. Members of the cabinet include Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of State William H. Seward, and Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles. Members of Congress include Senator Henry B. Anthony of Rhode Island, Senator William P. Fessenden of Maine, Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, and Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax of Indiana. Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase represents the U.S. Supreme Court. New York newspaper editors Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, and James Gordon Bennett are also present. Prominent women include First Lady Mary Lincoln, Ann S. Stephens (dime novelist and magazine editor), Miriam Folline Squier (wife of Leslie's former editor-in-chief and Leslie's future wife), Julia Dent Grant (wife of Ulysses S. Grant), Kate Chase Sprague (daughter of Chief Justice and wife of Rhode Island Senator), and Adele Cutts Douglas (widow of Stephen A. Douglas). Others identified in the key include Ephraim G. Squier (Leslie's former editor-in-chief, archaeologist, and U.S. commissioner to Peru), Governor Andrew G. Curtin of Pennsylvania and Ambassador to Russia Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky.Despite Leslie's copyright, Anton Hohenstein created a very similar image entitled "Lincoln's Last Reception," which also featured Lincoln's meeting General Ulysses S. Grant's wife Julia. Published by John Smith in Philadelphia in 1865 and hand-colored, "Lincoln's Last Reception" also included more than thirty military and political leaders and a few prominent women among the onlookers in the ballroom.Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner (1865-1884) was a weekly family newspaper published "every Tuesday" in New York by Frank Leslie. Each illustrated issue of sixteen pages contained serial fiction, short stories, poetry, biographies, history, travel sketches, natural history anecdotes, and other subjects. According to th.
