"The melancholy event of September 15th, 1864, which cast a gloom over our meetings at the pleasant "Bath Association," precludes the possibility of my entering into any questions of a private or a personal nature. It would, of course, have been far more congenial to my feelings to have met Captain Speke upon the platform, and to have argued out the affair before the scientific body then assembled. I went down fairly to seek this contest on September 13th. The day for the discussion was appointed for September 16th. Some hundreds of persons were assembled in the rooms of Section E, and when I appeared there it was only to hear that my quondam friend and Nile rival had on the previous afternoon lost his life by the merest accident. I had seen him at 13.0 P.M.; at 4 P.M. he was a corpse."

        The Platforms (1864 Election Broadside)

      [1864]., No Place: 1864 - Printed broadside, text in two columns, 9x11 1/2.A little browned, a few marginal nicks and short tears, tape repairs on verso; else very good. The platforms of the National Union Ticket, supporting Lincoln for President, and Andrew Johnson for Vice President, is juxtaposed with that of the Democartic Party, supporting George B. McClellan for President. According to the commentary, the Union Platform wants to defeat the South through force of arms, and end slavery. It seems that the Democartic Party is silent on the subject of slavery, and is more interested in obtaining peace now.

      Richmond, 1864. First Edition. Near fine. Two publications, each one leaf (c. 5 x 9 inches) printed on both sides, with the stamp of the Rebel Archives on the recto of each. Near fine, with a touch of edgewear. Both imprints seek to amend a law passed by the Confederate Congress on February 17, 1864, which provided for the impressment of 20,000 slaves for non-combat service in the Confederate Army. Both amendments propose raising the number of slaves-to 100,000 under the House bill or 40,000 under the Senate Bill. The House bill states that "slaves shall receive rations and clothing, and their owners be entitled to compensation at the rate of six dollars a month for each slave so employed," while the Senate bill requires that impressed slaves be taken "from those persons who have fifteen or more able-bodied field hands" and raises "the compensation given to the free negroes and other free persons of colorâ€¦to eighteen dollars per month." Jefferson Davis was sufficiently pleased with the service of slaves in the Army that in his 1864 annual message he, too, recommended an increase in their numbers, as well as a promise of emancipation at the end of their service.

        Autograph Letter Signed, Camp 47th U. S. Infantry (Colored) Vicksburg, Mississippi, March 18, 1864 to "Dear Aus."

      Quarto, 8 pages, neatly inscribed in ink, each page with some fold breaks along horizontal centerfold, but there is no loss, otherwise in very good clean and legible condition. Francis M. Pickett, an officer with the 47th U.S. Colored Infantry Regiment, describes the Regiment's participation in the Yazoo River Expedition of 1864. The 47th U. S. Colored Regiment Infantry was officially organized on March 11, 1864 from the 8th Louisiana Regiment Infantry (African Descent), which had in turn been organized in May 1863. This unit was composed primarily of freed or escaped slaves from Louisiana plantations, and was commanded, as was typical of the U. S. Colored Troops, by white officers. Francis M. Pickett had initially joined the 1st Kansas Regiment Infantry; by the date of this letter, he was a captain in the 47th U. S. Colored Regiment Infantry, and, as his letter makes clear, he had been with these troops for some time. In February and March of 1864, the regiment, which had been on garrison duty in Vicksburg, participated in an expedition up the Yazoo River which resulted in the capture of Yazoo City, Mississippi. Writing an old friend, Pickett here gives an account of the campaign: "Dear Aus, It had been so long since I had received a letter from you that when yours of the 10th inst. was received to-day... I had almost concluded you had left the "Army of the Potomac" with Hooker, last fall, and got lost somewhere in the hills of northern Georgia and "couldn't find yourself." ... I am entirely of your opinion as regards the time to which the war will continue, and should not be surprised if it were not more than half over. Gen. Sherman, who has lately had a good opportunity to judge of the strength and resources of the rebels predicates a ten years war, but I can't believe that. The "Copperheads" are going to make a desperate effort, this fall, to get up an effectual "fire-in-the-rear," and from what I saw while I was in Illinois I believe they can greatly embarrass the Government, much as the fact is ignored. As you say we are in the midst of warm weather, down here, and are only out of the "midst or warm work." When Sherman started east an expedition composed of the 11th Ill. Vols., our own Regiment and a small force of the 1st Miss Cavalry (colored) was started up the Yazoo River. The fleet was composed of five transports accompanied by five "tin" clad gunboats, and the principle object seemed to be to steal cotton. I was on a "Court Martial" in town and did not accompany the Regt. Going up the river they encountered Ross's rebel Brigade at Sartartia, or Liverpool Heights, and had quite a spirited little skirmish, our Regt losing four killed and seven wounded and the loss of the 11th being somewhat greater. After that they proceeded up the river without molestation, passed Yazoo City and went as far up as Ft. Pemberton, the junction of the Yallabusa and Yazoo rivers and within about forty miles of Grenada, the rebels burning the only steamboat they had on the river for fear it would fall into our hands. In the course of time Col. Coates, of the 11th was ordered to return to and garrison Yazoo City and I was ordered to join the Regt with the few men left in camp and the Camp and garrison Equipage. On the 28th of February I arrived at Yazoo City and found the troops composing the expedition in possession of the works around the city having had a little skirmish for their possession the evening before. Then commenced the heaviest duty I have ever done since entering the service. It was raining and cold and the mud little less than a foot deep, and every night, until the 5th of March, we were up in line three or four times and at four o'clock would go into the works and lay until after daylight. On the morning of the 5th our suspense was ended by the rebs, Ross's and Richardson's Brigades, making an attack on our centre, the position occupied by the 11th. After about two hours fighting they succeeded in driving nine companies of the 11th and the greater part of the cavalry into a fort which they could not take but out of which our men could not get. Then they sent three Regiments around and attacked our left where the only force we had to oppose them was one company of the 11th and one co. of our Regt. They formed in line and charged and - well you ought to have seen our fellows get into town. The rebs had gained half the town before we could get any of our men down but when they did get there (six more companies of them) they made the place so hot that the rebs sought protection in the houses, and then commenced a regular street fight, seven companies of our Regt. and one of th 11th being the only force we could spare or bring into town. I was on the right with three companies, holding the works and protecting our camp. The fight continued until about four o'clock when a commissary boat arrived from below and the rebs thinking it was reinforcements gave way, and we drove them out and occupied the position we had held in the morning when the fight commenced. The seven companies of ours which were engaged numbered about two hundred men and they had sixty-nine killed and wounded - eleven out of eighteen white officers. I was not in the fight and we only had some light skirmishing on our part of the line. On the sixth we were ordered back to Vicksburg, where we arrived on the 9th. Some of the 11th Ill had run away and got here before us bringing a report of the fight which I enclose for your amusement. I also enclose a later dispatch which will give you some idea of the justice(s) done colored troops in this department. I don't know what the official report will be as it has not yet come out, but I do know that men and officers couldn't do better fighting than ours did. ..."

        McClellan for President. Air: Pompey Moore'

      H. DeMarsan, New York 1864 - Civil War political song sheet printed in New York City with the lyrics to a song by John C. Cross supporting McClellan in the presidential election of 1864. The song sheet consists three printed nine line stanzas within ornamental borders depicting military and naval scenes.The first stanza describes McClellan as the man who will "stand by the Laws and Constitution", while the second stanza attacks Abraham Lincoln's conduct of the War with the following lines: "It's now three years and more since this bloody war began, And as yet there's no sign of its ending; Now Union folks do know that Abe Lincoln don't want peace, But to ruin he is fast our Country sending. He can't have his own way; The people soon will say Who shall hold the reins of power; For, spades will soon be trumps: how are you Abraham? And Little Mac the Nation's right bower."In the 1864 election, the incumbent president Republican Abraham Lincoln ran for re-election against Democratic candidate and ex-general George B. McClellan, who wanted to portray himself to the public as the "peace candidate" who wanted to bring the Civil War to a quick end. Lincoln won the electoral college by an overwhelming margin.During the War, General McClellan (1826 - 1885) was in command of the Army of the Potomac but failed to aggressively engage General Robert E. Lee's Army of the Potomac. He was insubordinate to Lincoln and scornful of him, believing that he had a better grasp of what the nation needed militarily and politically. Lincoln removed him from command in November of 1862 and named General Ambrose Burnside as the commander of the Army of the Potomac.6 1/2 x 9 3/4". This copy looks like it has been removed from a board, leaving two vacant bits in the top margin, affecting the decorative border. Somewhat browned with contemporary folds and a couple of chips in the margins. OCLC. 17185060 records 4 copies at the New York Historical Society, New York University, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, and Brown University.

        Has the War Ruined the Country?": Lincoln Re-Election Broadside

      New York 1864 - Broadside. Has the War Ruined the Country? Published by the National Union Executive Committee, Astor House, New York, N.Y., [ca. 1864]. 1 p., 9 x 16 in. Inscribed "Tho. B VanDamme from P.M.J. Chesley Nov. 7, '64" "The Copperheads assert that the War has ruined the Country; that we can never pay our debt; and that the war has proved a failure. Look at these Diagrams, based on official records, and see if this is true." Historical BackgroundThis broadside captures the essential optimism and forward-looking vision of the Republican Party during Abraham Lincoln's reelection campaign in 1864. Through graphs and diagrams, it provides evidence on population expansion, debt, and other financial indices with comparisons to Britain to make the argument that Republican management of the Civil War has not "ruined the country" and to counter the arguments of Copperhead Democrats:"Our prosperity has continued to increase in spite of the War and the moment it has ended we shall go ahead in Wealth and power with rapidity hitherto unknown to any nation on the face of the globe. Is Not Such a Nation Able To Carry On a War For Its Own Salvation?"ConditionVery Good

        Passages from the Life of a Philosopher.

      First edition. 8vo. xii, 496 pp., bound without the publisher's catalogue sometimes found to the rear. Publisher's green cloth, gilt lettered to the spine, later pencilled ownership inscription to the front pastedown. Frontispiece showing Babbage's Difference Engine no. 1. Neatly rebacked preserving all but the top of the original spine, occasional light foxing, very good.Babbage in his preface wrote: "This volume does not aspire to the name of an autobiography". Showing obvious pride in his pioneering work he wished to put on record the "remarkable circumstances" surrounding the creation of his Difference Engines, though the author worried whether this would be too dry to appeal to a wide audience and thus he wrote this "rambling, colourful, anecdotal" account of his life and times (ODNB). As with much of Babbage's posthumous fame, the book's primary interest rests on the description of his calculating engines, here described in chapters V-VII (Difference Engines Nos. 1 & 2) and chapter VIII ("Of the Analytical Engine").

        Fine woodburytype photo by Walery, (Gustaf, 1832-1923, engineer, designer of the Eiffel Tower)

      - showing him, three quarter length, sitting crossed legged in a chair, with facsimile signature, accompanied by a printed biography, 16½" x 12", no place, no date, library stamp in top left hand corner The term Woodburytype refers to both a photomechanical process and the print produced by this process. The process produces continuous tone images in slight relief. A chromated gelatin film is exposed under a photographic negative, which hardens in proportion to the amount of light. Then it is developed in hot water to remove all the unexposed gelatin and dried. This relief is pressed into a sheet of lead in a press with 5000 psi. This is an intaglio plate. It is used as a mold and is filled with pigmented gelatin. The gelatin layer is then pressed onto a paper support. It is thought to produce the finest photographic images. The Woodburytype was developed by Walter B. Woodbury in 1864, first used in a publication in 1866 and widely used for fine book illustration from about 1870 to 1900.

        Haggadah Shel Pesah

      1864. (HAGGADAH). Seder Ha-Haggadah Shel Pesah Im Tziyurim. Hugah Biyun Nimratz Meet Abraham Hai Morpurgo. Trieste: Jonah Cohen, 1864. Folio (9-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches), 20th-century half vellum; pp. [1], 42, [1]. $5200.Beautifully and richly illustrated Haggadah printed in Trieste, with elaborately engraved Gothic title page depicting Moses, Aaron, David and Solomon, and with 58 splendid wood engravings by C. Kirchmayr (almost one on every page).The Trieste Haggadah is undoubtedly the most distinguished illustrated edition produced in Europe during the 19th century. As the engraved title page already indicates, the Haggadah is different in format and design from any that preceded it, no mean achievement in an age when the Venetian and Amsterdam Haggadah illustrations were being copied and recopied in seemingly endless succession. Almost every page contains a large engraving above the text, drawn by C. Kirchmayr. Though inspired by the iconographic themes of the past, the Trieste engravings are not a mere aping of the stereotypes then current, but display a welcome freshness of design A scene showing the family around the Seder table had been a standard feature of almost all illustrated Haggadahs. As certain influential Haggadahs began to be copied later, the representation of the Seder became increasingly anachronistic [However,] in the Trieste Haggadah the artist has clearly set out to present a middle-class Italian Jewish family of his own time. Not only are the men and women dressed in the current style, but each of them exhibits an individuality rarely encountered before (Yerushalmi 102-105). The ultimate leaf contains the musical notes for Adir Hu, Adir Bimlukha, and Ehad Mi Yodeyah. Yaari 898. Yudlov 1216. Pencil and ink annotations in several hands.Occasional light staining characteristic of ceremonial use; minor paper repairs. An extremely good copy, attractively bound.

        Mission to Gelele, King of Dahome

      1864. First Edition . BURTON, Richard F. A Mission to Gelele, King of Dahome. With Notices of the So Called ""Amazons,"" The Grand Customs, The Yearly Customs, The Human Sacrifices, The Present State of the Slave Trade, and the Negro's Place in Nature. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1864. Two volumes. Octavo, 20th-century three-quarter tan calf, raised bands, burgundy morocco spine labels, top edges gilt, uncut. $4500.First edition of this account of Burtons last major expedition in West Africa, handsomely bound.In late 1863, while serving as British Consul in West Africa, Burton traveled to the Kingdom of Dahome in order to establish trade relationships, to protest the kingdom's involvement in the slave trade, and to investigate charges that King Gelele participated in ritual human sacrifice. Burton traveled in full pomp, with hundreds of porters and assistants, but the king refused him a private audience. As preparations for the yearly custom began, Burton demanded no one be killed in his presence. ""In deference to him or to his Queen the victims were slaughtered at night  'the evil nights,' said Burton the king cutting off the first head himself"" (Rice, 379). Unlike earlier travelers, Burton sought an unprejudiced explanation for the practices, despite his own revulsion. When he protested to Gelele, ""the king had his answers. It was the English who long ago had initiated the slave trade and as for the custom [of sacrifice, the king] slew only malefactors and prisoners of war It had been a frustrating, disappointing, unsuccessful trip, and psychologically the king had been Burton's master Only Burton's magnificent two-volume work on his efforts served to offset his disappointments"" (Rice, 380). Each volume with an engraved frontispiece. With page 181 of Volume II misnumbered 381, as called for in Penzer. Penzer, 72-73. Casada 47. Bookplates.Interior generally fine, with marginal paper repairs to pp.23-44 in Volume I. Handsomely bound.

        Autograph sentiment book from the 1860's with contributions by Eastman National Business College students (and others) including original artwork by renowned American artist Cassius M. Coolidge.

      Not published, Poughkeepsie, NY 1864 - An autograph book which contains 136 pages with autographs and other written information and sentiments of students mainly attendees of Eastman National Business College (ENBC) Poughkeepsie, NY. The majority of the entries date from 1864-65, with a few that are later. One notable contributor is R.H. Henderson (Robert Henry Hendershot known as the Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock) here listed as being from Jackson, Michigan. C.M. Coolidge (1844-1934) is best known for his series of "Dogs Playing Poker" paintings, an original oil of which sold in 2015 for over $650,000. For H.S. Carpenter whose name is stamped onto the front cover of the autograph book, Coolidge made an original ink drawing which he titled "A Graduate's Appearance in his Native Town" which is an early example of Coolidge's talent. The drawing is signed by Coolidge in an ornate style of penmanship imposed upon business students for which Eastman College was well-known. Included is the 109 page (plus illustrations) Eleventh Annual Illustrated Catalogue of ENBC from 1864 which lists both Carpenter and Coolidge as students. The autograph book spine has perished, leaving several gatherings of pages intact, but many are loose. A small number of pages have some soiling and discoloration, with most remaining clean and unmarked. A remarkable survival containing what may be the first known artwork by this iconic American artist and illustrator. A unique item. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Hard Cover]
