4 pp. Illus. with b/w engravings and drawings. 23 1/4 x 17 1/2 inches. The Brooklyn Standard, a weekly journal, was established in the fall of 1859, as "The Standard" by James R. Del Vecchio, with its last issue ending Jan 21; thus this is only the second issue under the new name, which began with v.1, #14. The demand was so high that a second edition was printed the same day. Includes an engraving of George P. Morris with article; an article entitled "The Presidential Nominees"; "The Tribune on Irishmen" and another on the New York Times story alluding to the "Indian Blood of Juarez" (the Constitutional President of Mexico). Stiles in his 1870 "A History of the City of Brooklyn" notes: "It was a Lincoln paper, having changed politics with its favorite, the late Stephen A. Douglas, and may now be classed among the republican sheets. It has always given much attention to military and fire department matters, as well as to local news generally, (Vol. 3, p. 940). "Copies of the Brooklyn Standard are extremely rare." Not at the AAS. A very good clean copy with inch tears along fore edge. Removed from a bound volume.…
