Item description from seller

28pp. Caption title [as issued], stitched. Blank bottom margin of last leaf with a postal cancel and Andrew Jackson commemorative postage stamp. Very Good. A bizarre post-Civil War pamphlet by a man who identifies himself only as 'T.' "I have nothing whatever to do with the politics of this country, or with its internal conflicts or quarrels, and it is the farthest thing from my wish in any manner to identify myself with any parties here. I merely take the circumstances of the day to illustrate Scripture, and to prove both that treason is a crime that ought to be punished when committed against a sovereign." T discusses President Johnson's "grand discovery, that 'Treason was a crime,' and oracularly pronounced the great fact." Though "the crime is denounced and its punishment called for," the trial hasn't occurred. "The answer may be anticipated,- Because the legal authorities see that no conviction for treason can be had." "Another attempt to translate the spiritual events seen by St. John 'in the spirit' into worldly history; and, of course, another egregious failure." [Meliora: A Quarterly Review of Social Science in its Ethical, Economical, Political, and Emeliorative Aspects. Vol. IX. London: S.W. Partridge. 1866.] OCLC 35658596 [3- NYHS, Duke, DLC] as of July 2023. Not in Sabin. …
