[Rarebooks] fs: Two sermons on Lincoln's death

[Back Creek Books]

Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:
~
(No. 10495 )  Butler, C[lement]. M[oore]. (1810-1890). FUNERAL ADDRESS ON 
THE DEATH OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, DELIVERED IN THE CHURCH OF THE COVENANT, APRIL 
19, 1865 BY THE REV. C. M. BUTLER, D. D..
Philadelphia: Henry B. Ashmead, Book and Job Printer, 1865. First printing, 
Wrappers, Octavo, 32 pages. Near fine.
      Rev. Butler's sermon was delivered in Philadelphia at the same time 
Lincoln's funeral was taking place in Washington. He sees, in Lincoln's 
murder, the true spirit of the rebellion that was inaugurated in behalf of a 
system of oppression, and blames the assassination on Southern propaganda. 
An AUTOGRAPH NOTE SIGNED by Butler is laid in, replying to a request for a 
photograph. MONAGHAN #434. These days I feel compelled to point out that 
this is an original printing from 1865, not some hokey print-on-demand copy. 
Bound in original plain tan wrappers with printed front cover. Rear cover 
has a 3/4" diagonal chip at heel of spine, otherwise clean and sound with 
just a few extremity rubs....... $150.00

ABRAHAM LINCOLN. PREACHED AT SURREY CHAPEL, LONDON, SUNDAY, MAY 14, 1865.
Boston: Bartlett and Halliday, 1865. First printing, Wrappers, Octavo, 16 
pages. Very Good.
      Rev. Hall was a strong supporter of Lincoln and abolition and had 
urged his own government to support the North during the American Civil War. 
Here he provides a British perspective on Lincoln's murder. One of 500 
copies. MONAGHAN #538. Bound in plain brown covers, printed front cover. 
Light external soil, minor extremity wear. Covers have some splitting along 
spine toward head and heel....... $175.00
