We have taken in a good many new members in the last three months, but if we are going to run our membership from 1,100 to 1,500 this year we will have to keep at it."

Hardcover. xxxv, 242 p. 18 cm. The Lakeside classics. Illustrations. Index. First published in 1822 under title: Two years' residence in the settlement on the English prairie. For perhaps a dozen years a tract of land in southeasten Illinois, containing no more than 100 square miles (near the junction of the Wabash and Ohio rivers), was known to more people in the United States, Great Britain, and western Europe than almost any other place in North America. Called the English Prairie or the English Settlement, it was the principal subject of seven books published between 1817 and 1830, and received extended treatment in at least ten others in the same period." As a contemporary account of the heyday of this famous settlement, Wood's book is unsurpassed. Very good in good dust jacket. Compliments card from Gaylord Donnelley laid in. Waxed paper dust wrapper present/folded. Presumed first edition/first printing thus.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xii, 564 pages. Illustrations. References. Bibliography. Index. No DJ present. Paul Angle, the noted Lincoln scholar, selected passages from the works on contemporaries, later biographers, and even Lincoln himself, to form a composite portrait of one of the wisest and most beloved American presidents. These passages, interwoven by Angle's running commentary, blend into a single vivid narrative of Lincoln's life, from his boyhood in Indiana to his assassination and funeral. The Lincoln Reader has long been considered the most definitive, complete, and authentic retelling of the life of Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln Reader is a biography written by sixty-five authors. From their writings one hundred seventy-nine selections have been chosen and arranged to form an integrated narrative. Great names in Lincoln biography--Carl Sandberg, Ida M. Tarbell, Lord Charnwood, Albert J. Beveridge, William H. Herndon, John G. Nicolay, and John Hay--stand out prominently; others, like James G. Randall and Benjamin P. Thomas, are better know to scholars than to the general public. Quite a few whose writings appear here have been forgotten by almost everyone, and at lest two who wrote contemporary new stories which Angle included have never emerged from anonymity. Some of Lincoln's own writings have notable biographical significance. Mr. Angle (1901-1975) received a master's degree from the University of Illinois in 1924. His involvement with Abraham Lincoln began in 1925, when he was appointed executive secretary of the Lincoln Centennial Association. From the association's headquarters in Springfield he prepared a series of books on Lincoln's day by day activities of the years 1854, 1858, 1859, 1860. In 1932 he was co author with Carl Sandburg of "Mary Lincoln, Wife and Widow." which drew critical praise for his arrangement of the letters, documents and appendix. In 1928, when The Atlantic Monthly magazine began publishing "Lincoln the Lover," a series of letters and memorandums ascribed to Lincoln concerning his early romance with Ann Rutledge, Mr. Angle was one of the experts who swiftly challenged their authenticity. The magazine dropped the series. His next book was "Here I Have Lived: A History of Lincoln's Springfield. 1821 1865," published in 1935 and reissued in 1950. It was followed by "A Handbook of Illinois History." written with Richard L. Beyer, in 1943, and "A Shelf of Lincoln Books: A Critical, Selective Bibliography" (1946). These all received wide acclaim but nothing like the public response to "The Lincoln Reader." a one volume biography put together from the writings of 65 authors and published by the Rutgers University Press in 1947. Charles Poore reviewing it in The New York Times, said of Mr. Angle's introduction to each chapter: "The selections from the works of the different authors are introduced in turn so unobtrusively that the transitions from one point of view to another and from one style to another seldom jar." In 1932, Mr. Angle was named historian of the Illinois State Historical Library and secretary of the state historical society. a position he held until he took the Chicago post in 1945. He continued to publish books on Lincoln and other historical themes until his death.

Hardcover. 8vo. Grey cloth, pictorial dust jacket. xii, 564pp. Illustrations. Very good/good plus. Binding mildly edgeworn with spine a bit soiled; jacket edgeworn, with several large edge chips and old tape mends, but complete and overall presentable. A tight and decent first edition of this fine anthology -- and boldly signed and inscribed by the author in blue fountain pen on the front flyleaf: "For Carl Tolpo / with great pleasure. / Paul M. Angle / Jan. 10, 1951." Carl Tolpo (1901-76) was a noted sculptor and painter whose busts of Lincoln are considered among the best. Tolpo signs in pencil near the top of this same flyleaf, adding "Bought at Fields / Mar 3 -- 47 / Chicago.".

Hardcover. Small 4to. Dark grey cloth. ix, 217pp. Illustrations, foldout map. Near fine. Tight, attractive first edition of the fourth volume in this annual series. Of greatest interest is that this was the copy of Adlai E. Stevenson II (1900-65), Illinois governor and twice Democratic presidential candidate, and after him son Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021), U.S. senator from Illinois (1969-81). The lenghiest contribution by far (120 pages' worth) is H.A. Musham's "The Great Chicago Fire, October 8-10, 1871" and the foldout map depicts "Map Showing Progress of the Fire." Also of interest is a Typed Note Signed from editor Angle facing the title page -- a unique frontispiece of sorts. 1p, 8½" X 11", Springfield, IL, 14 March 1941. Addressed to Ralph G. Newman (1911-98, founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop). Near fine. Two-hole punched at top. On "Illinois Historical Library" letterhead citing him as "Librarian," Angle chitchats with his bookseller friend: "The Biennial Register is available in our neighing [sic] institution, the Illinois State Library and, therefore, I shall not buy the volume which you are listing. Incidentally, an earlier volume in this series shows Lincoln's annual compensation -- probably for the year 1834 -- to have been almost $60.00. He was paid on a fee basis so the amount varies from year to year." Boldly signed in full. In 1946 the Chicago Historical Society published Angle's "The Great Chicago Fire: Described in Seven Letters by Men and Women Who Experienced Its Horrors, and Now Published in Commemoration of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the Catastrophe" -- a volume in which Musham's account no doubt played a part. Could Newman at some point have gifted this copy to his good friend the governor? Other contents include Barbara Burr Hubbs' "Rivers That Meet in Egypt," James Alton James' "Robert Kennicott -- Pioneer Illinois Natural Scientist and Arctic Explorer," G.W. Smith's "Egypt's Cultural Contribution" and C.H. Cramer's "Robert Green Ingersoll." This odd variant edition, unlike other copies, bears no gilt lettering whatsoever on spine or front board -- publisher's error? A fascinating copy, in any case.
