President Lyndon Johnson Explains His Decision to Not Run Again: ""The deep belief that our people will now bind themselves to the nation's interest, setting it above any personal or partisan consideration""

Description
11/4/68. As 1968 dawned, nobody doubted that Johnson would run for a second term as President, and indeed his name was entered in early primaries with his consent. However, early 1968 was tumultuous and events were fast-moving and unpredictable. On January 30, the North Vietnamese launched the massive Tet Offensive, a surprise attack on South Vietnamese and American forces that reached from every province in Vietnam right into the American embassy itself. Although U.S. and South Vietnamese forces claimed victory based on repulsing the attacks and body counts, the Tet Offensive made the American people realize that their opponent was stronger and better organized than had been previously realized, and that the light (a military victory) was not visible at the end of the tunnel, as had been promised. Meanwhile, this turn in the struggle made Johnson even more secretive, determined, and hypersensitive to criticism. Then, on March 12, 1968, came the New Hampshire primary, in which Johnson was opposed by Sen. Eugene McCarthy, an outspoken foe of the war but a virtual unknown lacking any funds or any sense of charisma. Johnson had done well in New Hampshire in the 1964 election, and it was anticipated that he would clobber McCarthy, and that if McCarthy could gain any appreciable vote it would be a miracle. Johnson won, all right, but it was a narrow victory (McCarthy received over 40% of the vote) that showed how vulnerable Johnson was.Some of Johnson’s closest advisors now counseled de-escalation in Vietnam. Confronted by mounting opposition, on March 31, 1968, Johnson stunned the nation with two surprise announcements: he would stop the bombing in most of North Vietnam to seek a negotiated end to the war, and he would not run for reelection. LBJ, who had so hungered for the presidency, in the end had had enough.Typed letter signed, White House letterhead, Washington DC, April 11, 1968, to Mr. Joey Adams, Chairman of the Board, American Guild of Variety Artists Youth Fund. ""Dear Joey: Your kindness at this time is a great encouragement. I ask your heart and hand in helping to heal division and strengthen unity in this critical time. The work of winning peace and enlarging freedom is our paramount concern. I have made it mine in the deep belief that our people will now bind themselves to the nation's interest, setting it above any personal or partisan consideration. I will always be grateful for your support.""

Description
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1954. First edition. Near fine in near fine jacket.. First printing - and only edition - of Abbey's first book, talked about but rarely seen by Abbey aficionados. Abbey's biography James A. Cahalan describes how embarrassed the author would become about his first novel: "Abbey remained so unhappy with his first novel that he always refused to have it reprinted [...] and left instructions that it not be reprinted after his death. As a result, JONATHAN TROY became a very expensive collector's item." Nevertheless, he concludes: "Abbey was too hard on himself; this novel is certainly flawed, yet interesting." A truly lovely copy of a scarce book. 8'' x 5''. Original black glazed paper boards, yellow-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($3.50) color pictorial dust jacket designed by Stefan Salter. [8], 374 pages. Faint offsetting to endpapers. Jacket lightly rubbed at spine head, with foxing to top edge.

Description
Detroit: People Against Racism, [1970]. First Edition. Original illustrated poster, with text and photographic portrait of Hampton offset printed in black and dark green on white stock, measuring 44.5cm x 57cm (17.5" x 22.5"). Light wear and a few thin strips of toning to extremities, two old folds smoothed out, with a few tiny edge tears, and some toning to upper half on verso; unbacked; Very Good+. Attractive copy of this poster issued in the months following the death of Fred Hampton, Chairman of the Black Panther Party's Illinois chapter, and Deputy Chairman of the national BPP. Given his position and his involvement with both the NAACP and SNCC, Hampton's profile was rising rapidly at the national level; he was assassinated on December 4, 1969, while sleeping in his apartment, during a raid by a tactical unit of the Cook County, IL State Attorney's Office, in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department and the FBI. This poster, issued by the Detroit-based People Against Racism, includes a petition along the right edge, calling for the creation of an investigating commission to determine responsibility for the murders, with spaces for names and signatures, and a plea for funds. OCLC notes 4 holdings (Yale, Northwestern, U.Kansas, Wisconsin Historical), and we find 2 others at OMCA and the Hoover Institution.

Unknown: Unique manuscript., 1883. Original half cloth over flexible paper card wrappers.. Very good; the binding is somewhat worn and chipped; one folding illus. is separated at the folds (no loss).. Folio (395 x 250 mm) notebook, appx. 154 pages. With a number of mounted illustrations (some folding, colored) and printed additions. An impressive report on the work of foundries in Alsace, Diedrich and Niederbroun, and Cockerill in Belgium. The author appears to have been an engineer (parts of the report contain the use of calculus). A good deal of the report is given over to technical details (there is superb "nature printed" inserted illustration of the grain structure of cast iron utilizing a section of a casting as the printing plate for the full page illustration) and machinery. The latter covers the most modern equipment, power sources, shaping, forging, production of iron and steel (the Bessemer process is covered). A superb technical report.

Napoli (Naples), Italy: Per Cura Pompeo Paderni, 1871. Softbound. VG-, spine paper gone, but binding tight. A few circular blindstamps throughout, but not many. Original paper covered boards. Laid-in Index (French, English) of 153 pages of steel engravings. 153 pages of steel engravings, followed by another index in Italian and French. A very nice, tight and clean copy of this ambitious catalogue. As Joslin Hall has described, "An elegant pictorial survey of antiquities excavated from Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabbia, in the collection of the National Museum in Naples. The objects include marble and bronze sculptures, silver, jewelry, lamps, pottery, glass, mosaics, murals, and other decorations. Most of the plates are printed in black, but several are printed in colored ink..." This is apparently an earlier version than the one they describe, from a different publisher and with only 153 plates. Plates 77, 78 and 79 are printed in orange ink, and plate 54 is a folding plate.

New. $34.95 * Beard's interpretation proposes that the Framers of the Federal Constitution were motivated primarily by economic concerns. This argument was widely held until the late 1950s, when it was gradually undermined by later research, much of it stimulated by Beard's work. Although most scholars today see the origins of the revolution in terms of the history of ideas, especially republicanism, Beard's work remains fundamental and has insured a continued focus on the economic aspect of the nation's establishment, as well as a wider awareness of the role of economic interests in history. ". . . one of 'the basic works' on the Federal Convention of 1787." --James Willard Hurst, The Growth of American Law 458. Charles A. Beard [1874-1948] was one of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century. A founder of The New School for Social Research, he was the author of several works including The Supreme Court and the Constitution (1912), Economic Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy (1915) and The Rise of American Civilization (1927), co-written with his wife, the historian Mary Beard.

Description
Chicago: William Lewis & Son Co., 1925. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 11 1/4 x 8; pp. [30]; textured brown wraps, printed and decorated in gilt; illustrated with plates; text ruled with ornamental borders; small loss of paper to upper corners of wraps; mild creasing to text block; a slight discoloration to fore-edge of last few leaves; in about very good condition. A distinguished Chicago-based music store, specializing in violins and bows, William Lewis & Son Co. was founded in 1874. Coming to be known as the "Violinist's Headquarters," the company would amass a stunning collection of fine orchestral string instruments from the violin family, which included those of Antonio Stradivarius, Giuseppe Guarneri, Domenico Montagnana, and so on. The firm also published several important books and catalogs on violins, including the current, quite-scarce one, which outlined the process of caring for a violin and also included chapters of brief history of various modern violin makers and descriptions and prices of actual examples of the corresponding instruments, bows, and cases held by the company. Some of the featured names were Hermann Todt, Gustav August Ficker, George N. Einsele, etc.

West Hartford, Connecticut: American Morgan Horse Register, 1939. Facsimile. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 0x0x0. 1980s facsimile of 1939 original. Owner bookplate on front endpaper, minor loss of gilt from spine. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 230, [2] pp. Black-and-white photographs throughout. A continuation of the series begun by Joseph Battell, who passed away shortly before the publication of volume three. The Morgan horse is one of the earliest horse breeds developed in the United States. Tracing back to the foundation sire Figure, later named Justin Morgan after his best-known owner, Morgans served many roles in 19th-century American history, being used as coach horses and for harness racing, as general riding animals, and as cavalry horses during the American Civil War on both sides of the conflict. Morgans have influenced other major American breeds, including the American Quarter Horse, Tennessee Walking Horse and the Standardbred. During the 19th and 20th centuries, they were exported to other countries, including England, where a Morgan stallion influenced the breeding of the Hackney horse. In 1907, the US Department of Agriculture established the US Morgan Horse Farm near Middlebury, Vermont for the purpose of perpetuating and improving the Morgan breed; the farm was later transferred to the University of Vermont. The first breed registry was established in 1909, and since then many organizations in the US, Europe and Oceania have developed. Popular children's authors, including Marguerite Henry and Ellen Feld, have portrayed the breed in their books; Henry's Justin Morgan Had a Horse was later made into a Disney movie.

Description
New York: New Press, 2005. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x1x9. First paperback printing. Spine lightly creased, edges lightly foxed. 2005 Trade Paperback. 594 pp. The acclaimed sweeping history of a nation at war with itself, told here for the first time by the people who lived it. Bottom-up history at its very best, A People's History of the Civil War "does for the Civil War period what Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States did for the study of American history in general" (Library Journal). Widely praised upon its initial release, it was described as "meticulously researched and persuasively argued" by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Historian David Williams has written the first account of the American Civil War though the eyes of ordinary people - foot soldiers, slaves, women, prisoners of war, draft resisters, Native Americans, and others. Richly illustrated with little-known anecdotes and first-hand testimony, this pathbreaking narrative moves beyond presidents and generals to tell a new and powerful story about America's most destructive conflict. A People's History of the Civil War is "readable social history" which "sheds fascinating light" (Publishers Weekly) on this crucial period. In so doing it recovers the long-overlooked perspectives and forgotten voices of one of the defining chapters of American history. Forty b/w images.
