HALL, OCT. 19, 1864. [Boston]: [New England Loyal Publication Society],
[1864]. Stitched wraps; 16 pages. INSCRIBED and SIGNED at the top of the
title: "Mr. John Andrews/from his ancient school-fellow/Edward Everett."
The last two pages contain a statement by the vice-president of the
Confederacy: "The Rebellion Inexcusable: Warning and Protest Against It.
By Alexdander H. Stephens, made at the capitol of Georgia, January,
1861." Occasional light foxing. Near Fine.
Edward Everett--a Unitarian minister, member of both the United States
Congress and Senate, and also a governor of Massachusetts--is perhaps
best known for his oratory powers. It is he who gave the "other" address
at Gettysburg on 19 November 1863. The next day he wrote Lincoln saying,
"I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near the
central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes."
