Washington: Government Printing Office, 1866. Small 8vo, brown cloth, gilt lettering on front, 69pp. Arnold Gates' copy (signature on front pastedown). This was the first anniversary of Lincoln's birthday after the assassination. Some toning and foxing. Shelfwear. Spine ends worn; front hinge cracking at top. Still very good. Sandburg, Carl. Address of Carl Sandburg Before a Joint Session of Congress, February 12, 1959. New York: Harcourt, Brace & Company, 1959. 12mo, blue cloth with gilt front lettering, 15 unnumb. pp. Limited edition, number 185 of 750 numbered copies. This one also inscribed and signed by Sandburg ("Carl"). Each page with lovely monochrome views from American history. This, of course, the anniversary of Lincoln's 150th birthday. Minor sunning of spine, else excellent. Illustrated Life, Services, Martyrdom, and Funeral of Abraham Lincoln. Sixteenth President of the United States. With a Portrait of President Lincoln, and other Illustrative Engravings of the Scene of the Assassination, etc. Philadelphia: T.B. Peterson & Brothers, 1865. 12mo, printed paper wraps, 299pp plus 1pp ads. Originally published as a campaign biography in 1864, and was quickly reissued after the assassination with additional material. The paperback editions are seldom found, although a number apparently were bound by their purchasers as souvenirs. Most copies found today are hardbound. This copy also with many uncut pages, further indication of how quickly the publishers tried to get it on the market. Surface soil, some water stains. Scuffing especially of lower edge. Still in acceptable collectors' condition. Condition: All four with mylar dustjackets.
