Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Bluegrass region of Kentucky was the only part of the slaveholding South Abraham Lincoln knew intimately. How the cultural environment of Lexington, the home of Lincoln's wife, with its pleasure-loving aristocracy, its distinguished political leaders, and its slave auctions shaped his opinions on slavery and secession is traced in these pages.In this city, early known as the 'Athens of the West,' Lincoln's alliance with the Todd family widened his circle of acquaintances to include such diverse personalities as the fiery Cassius M. Clay, who urged immediate emancipation; Dr. Robert J. Breckinridge, courageous Presbyterian minister, and the doctor's nephew, John C. Breckinridge, who took up arms against Lincoln after his election to the presidency.…

From the first Smith has been considered as the model of the 'Sir Joseph Porter' of Gilbert and Sullivan's 'HMS Pinafore', and Disraeli himself is said to have referred to him as 'Pinafore Smith'. See Smith's entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item is signed 'W. H. Smith', addressed to 'Mr Townsend Warner', and headed 'Private'. The recipient is the historian and Harrow housemaster George Townsend Warner (1865-1916), father of the novelist Sylvia Townsend Warner. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. Smith, who has evidently been applied to with a request to fish in a private stream, asks Warner to 'do me a favour in saying whether the writer of the enclosed is one to whose request I might assent without being open to similar requests all round'. He does not know the writer. 'The stream is a very small and short one, and I am anxious to reserve it for private friends as far as possible, as I have given up my rights in the Teign to the Fishery Association'. At the time of writing Smith was Leader of the Commons, but one is still surprised to see such a letter written on a Downing Street letterhead.…

New. $65. * Reprint of the sole edition. The facsimiles here given are taken from the records of the Fayette Circuit Court and from letters of Abraham Lincoln. A petition was filed in the Fayette Circuit Court, Lexington, Ky., May, 1853, by Edward Oldham and Thomas Hemingway, surviving partners of Oldham, Todd & Company, claiming that Abraham Lincoln collected certain money, as their attorney, which was not paid over. Four depositions, constituting the proof for Lincoln, were filed in the Fayette Circuit Court, November 23, 1853, and so completely was the charge refuted that the plaintiffs on January 16, 1854, filed a motion to dismiss the case, which was done at their cost, February 10, 1854. …
