Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition, Special Edition. TWAIN, Mark. Is He Living or Is He Dead? In World's Fair Number of The Cosmopolitan: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Vol. XV, No. 5. New York: Cosmopolitan Publishing Company, September 1893. First appearance of Mark Twain's Is He Living or Is He Dead?, pp. 629-634, illustrated by Alice Barber Stephens. Tall octavo, pp. [513]-640. Original decorated paper wrappers, with numerous halftone photographs and line illustrations throughout; fore-edge and lower edge rough cut, with numerous period advertisements. The September 1893 World's Fair Number of The Cosmopolitan is largely devoted to the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Twain's satirical story mocks the art market's tendency to neglect artists during their lifetimes while inflating their reputations after death, imagining a comic scheme in which the painter Jean-François Millet feigns his own death in order to increase the value of his work. Also contains former U.S. President Benjamin Harrison's Points of Interest; an installment of William Dean Howells's A Traveller from Altruria; Franz Boas's Ethnology at the Exposition; and contributions by others. Contents generally clean and unmarked; evenly toned. Wrappers toned, with small chips and edgewear. Binding remains sound and square. Complete in original wrappers. Very Good-.

Rare and remarkable autograph book compiled by West Virginia senator and industrialist Henry Gassaway Davis (1823-1916) containing 289 historic autographs, including seven presidents, seven vice presidents, and scores of members of the Senate, House of Representatives, and presidential cabinets, as well as a few other 19th-century notables. Octavo, bound in full crushed levant morocco by the Harcourt Bindery with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, gilt-scrolled inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt Bindery, all edges gilt, title page printed in gilt. With Davis' ownership signature and subsequently that of his daughter to the title page, "H. G . Davis, 1872" and "Grace T. Davis, 1887" (Miss Davis was 18 in 1887). The book has approximately 300 unnumbered pages but only the first 144 (which were numbered in pencil by hand at some point) include theÂautographs, generally three on each side of a page, most often including the person's home state, or, in the case of cabinet members, their office title. The highlights of the album are the signatures of seven presidents, representing a half-century of American politics: U. S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison (twice), William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt. Also included are seven vice presidents - Hannibal Hamlin, Schuyler Colfax, Henry Wilson, William A. Wheeler, Levi P. Morton, Garrett A. Hobart, and Charles W. Fairbanks - and one first lady, Frances F. Cleveland. With the later presidents'Âautographs are several examples of partial cabinets, including: Harrison (Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster, Secretary of War Stephen B. Elkins, Attorney General William H. H. Miller, Postmaster General John Wanamaker, Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy, Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble, and Secretary of Agriculture Jeremiah M. Rusk), Cleveland (Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Navy Daniel S. Lamont, Attorney General Richard Olney, Postmaster General Wilson S. Bissell, Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert , Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, and Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton), McKinley (Secretary of State John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of War Russel A. Alger, Attorney General Joseph McKenna, Postmaster General James A. Gary, Secretary of the Navy John D. Long, Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, and Secretary of the Interior Cornelius N. Bliss), and Roosevelt (Secretary of State John Hay, Attorney General Philander C. Knox, Postmasters General Charles Emory Smith and Henry C. Payne, and Secretary of the Interior Ethan A. Hitchcock). Others significant names include influential members of the House and Senate, many of whom were celebrated veterans of the Civil War. These include: Hamilton Fish, William M. Evarts, Charles Sumner, David Davis, Simon Cameron, James G. Blaine, George S. Boutwell, Augustus H. Garland, Roscoe Conkling, Ambrose Burnside, John A. Logan, John B. Gordon, Carl Schurz, Wade Hampton, John T. Morgan, Henry W. Slocum, and William Mahone. Interestingly, one page features the autographs of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, and famed agnostic lecturer Robert G. Ingersoll. In fine condition. A remarkable collection spanning half a century of American politics.…
