Title: Horace Greeley: A Shared Belief in the Goodness of God Would Let ""reason o’er the world prevail""
Author: Horace Greeley
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 25/11/1855. A signed quotation that sold publicly at Henkels in Philadelphia in 1895As the owner of the New York Tribune newspaper, Greeley was always influential in political circles. Greeley had first entered the political arena in 1840, promoting the candidacy of William Henry Harrison. He remained a politician for the rest of his life, promoting first Whig and, later, Republican causes. He helped to organize the Republican Party in 1854 and campaigned for Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Having developed a ""thirst for public office"" while serving three months in Congress in 1848-49, he ran unsuccessfully for the Senate in 1863, for the House in 1868 and 1870, and the presidency in 1872. Greeley's political and social views reflected his strongly held religious beliefs. His reforms aimed at creating a society in which men and women would be less inclined toward moral transgressions and more inclined toward actions that ""shall ultimately result in universal holiness and consequent happiness.""Soame Jenyns, a member of the British Parliament from 1741 to 1780, was a member of the Board of Trade and Plantations when he wrote ""The Objections to the Taxation of our American Colonies by the Legislature of Great Britain, briefly consider'd."" In this he argues the case for Parliament's right to tax the colonies, and states briefly the theory of virtual representation.He was an essayist, poet, and politician, whose writings on various topics, though now nearly forgotten, were highly esteemed by his own generation and evidently by Greeley.Autograph quotation signed, New York, November 25, 1855. ""From Soame Jenyns."" ""Were these truths understood - that God is our friend, Virtue our good and Happiness our end, How soon must reason o’er the world prevail, And error, fraud and superstition fail!""This piece sold at Henkels in Philadelphia in 1895.

Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Mexico City, 1848. Very good.. 3pp. Printed on a single folded sheet. Dbd. Old vertical fold, minor foxing. A rare United States Army field printing pertaining to a notable incident that occurred during the Mexican-American War. In early January 1848, Lt. Col. Miles was ordered by Brig. Gen. Twiggs to take command of a wagon train and a small cadre of troops and then conduct them from northern Mexico to Mexico City. Mexican merchants availed themselves of the escort for safe conduct of their merchandise to the capital city and other destinations in the interior of the country. The wagon train consisted of 316 government wagons which stretched to three miles in length, with 1,700 pack mules adding another nine miles to the procession. Col. Miles had 1,300 troops under his command, but only 150 of them were cavalry. Mexican guerillas, under the command of Zenobia attacked the train between Santa Fe and Rio San Juan, resulting in the loss of 300 pack mules along with the goods belonging to the Mexican merchants. Col. Miles was then brought up on charges in a military Court of Inquiry at Tacubaya, Mexico, the details and results of which are recorded in the present work. In short, Col. Miles was exonerated of any misconduct, especially considering that he only had "a small number of troops" at his command. The heart of the judgement states that "Lieut. Col. Miles exercised unusual prudence and foresight in his precautionary measures, and that his entire arrangements upon the march were most judicious and officer-like, and that instead of meriting censure or even animadversion, the conduct of Lieut. Col. Miles entitles him to high commendation." The incident was described in a contemporary account recorded by American soldier Orlando B. Wilcox: "July 19. New acquaintance named Clark, a sutler, who was at Buena Vista...saw Zenobia's attack on Col. Miles' train. The Mexican merchants &c. whose pack mules the escort was protecting stood on a hill & saw Walker whipt & gave no assistance, though they were numerous, together & well armed. Zenobia made a dash at the pack mules. Clark was driven along with the crowd. Saw a volunteer try to cut the girth to save his pack; a lancer cut his head off at a clip. Zenobia left Clark [as a prisoner] charge of two men, to 'whip the yankees.' Charge in deep files, cavalry toward Walker's, whose forty men dismounted. Walker was at their head; they gave way. Mex's dashed forward & on coming up, wheeled to right & left" - Willcox. Dixon Stansbury Miles (1804-1862) served a wide-ranging career in the American Army. He fought in the Indian Wars, the Seminole Wars, and with particular distinction during the Mexican-American War, before losing his life early in the Civil War. While commander of the Union garrison at Harper's Ferry in 1862, a time in his career when he had been censured by the Army for drunkenness, he was mortally wounded while surrendering to Stonewall Jackson's forces during the Confederate invasion of Maryland.
