Hardcover. Small 4to. Green cloth with gilt lettering and front board pictorial giltstamping. 410pp. Captioned tissue-guarded frontispiece, numerous illustrations, maps, captioned tissue-guarded full-page engravings. Very good. Mild edgewear and touch of foxing to preliminary leaves, but overall tight and internally quite nice. Attractive first edition, with front board giltstamping of equestrian Sherman statue bold and bright. Speakers include President Theodore Roosevelt, Daniel Sickles and several other generals, etc. This copy extra-illustrated with two choice Civil War-era additions: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a very good printed "General Orders, No. 68," 1p, 5" X 7¼", Washington, DC, 22 February 1864. Very good. Faint age toning and typical 3-punch holes at left margin, not affecting text. This printed memorandum, which would have been distributed to companty clerks throughout the Union Army, contains "Public Resolution -- No. 12," a "Joint Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Major General W.T. Sherman. for their gallant and arduous services in marching to the relief of the Army of the Cumberland, and for their gallantry and heroism in the battle of Chattanooga." Signed in type at the close of E.D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant General. Facing this is the other extra-illustration, a near fine heavy stock 7" X 10½" (same trim size as text block) steel-engraved head-and-shoulders portrait of Sherman in uniform based on Matthew Brady's well-known 1865 portrait of a stern Sherman with right hand tucked inside greatcoat -- likely a book illustration of the period from an unidentified volume. A nice if routine copy of this volume and with two choice period additions.

Very Good (covers bright with little crack exterior front hinge; contents clean & tight). Small 8vo., embossed green cloth, stamped in gilt on spine; 336 pages First Edition. With a two-page autograph letter from Keim tipped-in after the copyright page. Dated Washington, DC, Nov. 23, 1880, the letter is addressed to ?Dear Taylor?- believed to be James Hudson Taylor. Keim writes that he just returned from Philadelphia and received Taylor?s sketch ?Presents of the Chinese Embassy.? He discusses working with Anson Burlingame and that he has a very nice autographed letter from Burlingame thanking him for his services ?rendered the Embassy in the U.S. through the Herald.? He discusses arrangement of figures at the Chinese Embassy that are ?very vigorously treated.? He thanks Taylor for the sketch he sent and states that his address will remain in Washington, DC. Keim?s signature, clipped from a letter, is also tipped-in opposite the title page. De Benneville Randolph Keim (also known as De B. Randolph Keim) was a 19th-century journalist who became a war-time confidant of Ulysses S. Grant and remained an advisor to Grant through his presidency. In 1870, he was appointed by Grant as a special agent charged with inspecting America's consular offices in Asia, China, Egypt, and South America. The letter is believed to be written to James Hudson Taylor [1832?1905), who was a British Protestant Christian Missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission. Taylor spent 51 years in China and was a prolific writer. Anson Burlingame [1820?1870] was an American lawyer, Republican/American Party legislator, diplomat, and abolitionist. As diplomat, he served as the U.S. minister to China (1862-1867) and then as China's envoy to the U.S., which resulted in the 1868 landmark Burlingame Treaty. The letter is a little too large for the size of the book and the very right edges are a bit worn. An interesting copy of a very scarce title! I have been unable to locate any copies for sale in the marketplace. Signed.
