Fourth edition,1855, Worcester self-published, printed by Stacy and Richardson, Boston. 446 pp, red cloth cover darkened to a brown color. This anthology of speeches and writings is a hidden gem for autograph collectors. The selected works of American eloquence lean heavily into political and patriotic topics, all forgotten or easily found in other books and of course the internet. The Appendix of 38 pages includes excellent facsimiles of hundreds of early signatures from the collection of Charles Morse. (A complete fourth edition includes 46 pages of facsimiles. This copy is missing the last 8 pages.) An additional appendix includes a transcript of the Declaration with facsimiles signatures of the Signers as they appeared on the document. For autograph collectors, this is one of the first American publications, may be the first, reproduction of an autograph collection in facsimile. It is a wonderful example of early collecting with hundreds of strong facsimiles running back to some Mayflower passengers.…
