Title: Addresses on the Death of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives on Tuesday, July 9, 1861
Description: Washington, D.C. Government Printing Office, 1861. Paperback. Small 4to. Original tan printed wrappers. 92pp. Good plus. Almost, but not quite, rates a "Very good" -- just a mild bit of edgewear and couple of tiny chips at extremities. Many of Douglas' Illinois colleagues -- Isaac Arnold and Orville H. Browning among them -- contribute to this collection of eulogies. First edition -- a tight and handsome copy bearing a nice autograph addition: The top of the front wrapper bear a bold signature and inscription: "Clinton D. Sellew / from Thos. A. Doyle." Doyle (1827-86) was long-time mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, from 1852 off and on through his death. Sellew (whose pencilled ownership signature appears on the title page) was a local public official and later postmaster of Providence. This pamphlet is also found in a yellow wrapper, but no priority has been established. SABIN 20696. .
