ITEM DETAILS Title: Message of the Governor of Illinois to the Twenty-Second General Assembly, at its Extraordinary Session, Convened April 23, 1861Author: Richard YatesPublisher: Bailhache & Baker, Springfield, IllinoisPublication Date: 1861Edition: 1st EditionCondition: Good ITEM DESCRIPTION A rare volume to find in any condition. Lacks original printed wraps. First edition. Illinois' Civil War governor calls a special session of the legislature in order to enact emergency war preparedness measures. After reviewing the traitorous actions of the "disloyal States" and the Union's "clearly and unmistakably in self-defense" response, Yates beseeches the legislature for sweeping reform, "the enactment of a practicable militia law." This he elaborates in detail. "Let us so act," he concludes dramatically, "that our children and our children's children, when we are laid in the dust, will hold us in grateful remembrance, as we do now bless the heroes and patriots who achieved our independence, and transmitted to us the priceless heritage of American liberty." Quite uncommon. Not in Sabin. Exterior shows wear as pictured, including light toning, soiling and foxing, creasing, general light wear around the extremities, Illinois State Historical Library stamp to the front and rear, and former owner’s stamp to the rear. Presents quite nicely otherwise. All pages remain attached to the binding. The text block of this volume is clean overall. There is typical age-related toning to the pages, as well as light foxing and soiling scattered throughout, and some general creasing and wear in the margins. Otherwise this volume remains perfectly readable throughout. Make sure to see the photos above for a thorough look through this antique publication. 8 pages.
