[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

Speech of Hon. Jacob Collamer of Vermont, on Affairs in Kansas delivered 
in the Senate of the United States, April 3 and 4, 1856.

Printed at the Congressional Globe Office in Washington in 1856.

Senator Collamer, a stout abolitionist who had been elected to the 
Senate as a member of the new Republican party the prior year, had a 
“reputation as the best lawyer in the Senate. His colleagues were known 
to pay close attention to his remarks on the Senate floor even though he 
spoke infrequently and even then too quietly to reach the entire chamber 
or the galleries. Charles Sumner referred to Collamer as the 
"Green-Mountain Socrates" [Wikipedia].

Disbound, in new paper covers. 5.5”x8.75”, 29 pages. Minor soil, light 
foxing. [48882]  $25
