Washington, D.C., 1865. Broadside, 13 x 8 1/4 inches. Faint dust-soiling, minor edge wear, with a few short marginal tears repaired on verso. Very good. A rare first broadside printing announcing two of President Lincoln's three final proclamations, "Closing Certain Ports" and "Port of Key West to Remain Open," both issued on April 11, 1865. President Lincoln issued these proclamations just three days before he was cut down by the assassin, John Wilkes Booth. Both proclamations are signed in type by Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward. The first proclamation, "Closing Certain Ports," shut down a large number of Confederate ports, all listed on the proclamation, and indicated that "all rights of importation, warehousing, and other privileges, shall, in respect to the ports aforesaid, cease until they have again been opened by order of the President; and if, while said ports are closed, any ship or vessel from beyond the United States, or having on board any articles subject to duties, shall attempt to enter any such port, the same, together with its tackle, apparel, furniture, and cargo shall be forfeited to the United States." It was President Lincoln's 126th proclamation. The second proclamation, "Port of Key West to Remain Open" was issued to amend the previous proclamation. It stated that "the port of Key West, in the state of Florida, was inadvertently included among those which are not open to commerce" and declared that "said port of Key West is and shall remain open to foreign and domestic commerce...." It was President Lincoln's 127th proclamation … [Click Below for Full Description]

Boston: Bailey & Noyes, 1865. 8vo, brown cloth, gilt title at spine. Folding lithographic frontis, [i-v], vi-xiii, [blank], [7]-928 pp., 4 b&w lithographic plates, 2 folding maps. Second edition, revised and enlarged of this work first published in two volumes in 1831 and 1833, respectively. William Willis (1794-1870) was a lawyer, historian, Harvard graduate, and mayor of Portland. A founder of the Maine Historical Society, he successively served as secretary, treasurer, and president. "[H]e was also the editor of the first six volumes of its Collections (1831-59), and all but the third volume of these contained at least one article from his pen" (Dictionary of American Biography). The History of Portland is considered one of Willis' chief works, along with A History of the Law, the Courts, and the Lawyers of Maine (1863). Willis notes how the destruction of Portland and its records by the Indians in 1690 posed problems for the completion of this work. Includes a fine lithographic view of Portland in 1865, based on the view of Portland by J. W. Hill in 1855. "A portion of the edition was destroyed in the fire of 1866" (Williamson). CONDITION: Good, short tears at head of spine, foot of spine chipped, folding plates and maps foxed, early armorial bookplate on front paste-down, generally quite clean, a solid attractive copy.

Wellington: Author, 1865. Octavo,20 pp.,with two other papers, very scarce. Also included is a paper "Notes On the ornithology of New Zealand" by Buller (extract from The Ibis 1869). Separate is a paper by Buller "The story of Papaitonga; or a page of Maori history (Wellington Philososphical Society p. 572-584). "There is an interesting history to this publication and you need to be careful how you describe it. Buller's and several other essays were written for the New Zealand Exhibition in Dunedin in 1865, organised and edited by James Hector and printed by Fergusson & Mitchell of Dunedin. But the printers were so slow that copies were not available until several years after the Exhibition. Few were distributed, leaving Hector with the problem of what to do with the large remaining stock. By this time he had moved to Wellington as, among other things, Manager of the new New Zealand Institute. The problem of what to do with the Essays was solved by giving them all new title pages and binding sets of them into the first volume of the "Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute" for 1868, published in 1869. This restricted the print run of this volume of the Transactions to 500 and it was soon exhausted and had to be reprinted in 1875. The original copies of Buller's essay as printed for the Exhibition by Fergusson and Mitchell have a cover title page headed "New Zealand Exhibition, 1865" and with the imprint at the bottom, "Printed for the Commissioners, by Fergusson and Mitchell . . . MDCCCLXV" The majority of copies as bound into the Transactions are Ferguss … [Click Below for Full Description]

In this letter, Goddard expresses heartfelt sorrow to "Eva" that he would not be able to take leave for a visit. The reason he explains as follows: "We landed from our Williamsburg expedition on New Years day and went into camp. I immediately made application for a leave of absence but before it could get through the proper channels we were ordered to reimbark for a second expedition so I shall have to wait a while longer. It is supposed that our destination is Wilmington again and I hope this time with better success than before. It is very probable that some weeks may elapse ere I have an opertunity to send you another letter. Meantime you may hear of hard fighting but do not enable yourself unhappy by worrying yourself about me. Remember that there are not one fourth so many killed in battle as is general supposed. If it be my fate to fall it is my desire that you should be happy remembering that our 'father in heaven' doeth all things well.". Goddard was one of the white officers that led the 30th U.S. Colored Infantry, which was part of the then recently assembled all African-American 25th Corps that had been formed the month before. Its first intended engagement was to be an assault on Fort Fisher at Wilmington, North Carolina. The notoriously incompetent political general, Benjamin Butler, commanded that expedition in late December, but abandoned the assault shortly after it began on Christmas Day.

Edo, Japan, 1865. Title: The battle between the Minamoto and Taira clans at Yajima [1185]. Artist: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-92). Signed: Ikkaisai Yoshitoshi ga.

It had involved the deaths of Thornton and Mary Livingstone, and also missionaries of the LMS and UMCA, as well as several sailors.
