Description
[Montgomery, Alabama, 1861. Autograph document, entirely in ink manuscript, in the hand of Alabama lawyer Alex. B. Clitherall, Assistant to Burton Harrison, Jefferson Davis's private secretary. The document is signed "J.J. Harper, Secretary per Alex B. Clitherall Asst." "Commn to European Powers. For the President," docketed on recto of second leaf, probably by Harrison. Very Good. "The Congress being in Executive Session Mr. Rhett from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, made the following report: "The Committee on Foreign Affairs, to whom was referred the nominations by the President, of W. L. Yancey, P.A. Rost, and A. Dudley Mann as Commissioners to the European Powers, respectfully report, that they have had the same under consideration, and recommend that the Congress do advise and consent to the nominations of W.L. Yancey, and P.A. Rost,' "Which report was unanimously carried. "So the Congress does advise and consent that William L. Yancey of Alabama, and P.A. Rost of Louisiana, be commissioners to the European Powers, under the resolution of Congress of February 13th 1861. "I certify the above abstract to be correct. "J.J. Harper Secretary per Alex B. Clitherall Asst." President Davis had sent a Message to Congress on February 26, 1861, recommending the appointment of Yancey of Alabama, Rost of Louisiana, and Mann, whose nomination was not approved. But Mann's consolation was his later appointment as Commissioner of the Confederate States of America for Belgium and the Vatican. Yancey and Rost would be replaced by Mason and Slidell, whose capture on a mission to Europe nearly started a war between the United States and England.

London: The Gresham Publishing Company, 345 Southampton St., Strand, 1910. [LITERARY WORK] [HISTORY]. J.H.F. BACON, E. WALCOUSINS, H.R. MILLAR, G.F. WATTS, Ford Madox BROWN, illustrators. First edition. 8vo; xiv, 446pp; olive cloth over board, gilt stamped lettering on front and spine, Art Deco style tree on front board with 3 ships stamped in green and gold signed "E.W.", decorated spine; top edge gilt; 24 glazed inserted half-tone illustrated plates, 4 in color; dark olive eps; ownership bookplate stamp on half-title lacking name; light bump to lower front corner, light foxing to fore edge, light foxing throughout; binding tight, no bad odors; very good plus. The wonderful Art-Deco style cover design can most likely be attributed to Ernest Charles Wallcousins (1882-1976), a noted British artist who contributed to some of the illustrated plates. The book explores the interest and importance of Celtic mythology, the sources from where it sprang, the "Ancient Briton", and their religion and Druidism. There are sections on Gaelic gods and their stories, and on the British gods and their stories, as well as the survival of Celtic paganism.
