Carrington - To face Editor's preface - / Autograph Lett[er Signed by Carrington to Barton] / Dedication of Smith Table [newspaper article] after index - / Original draft of America [in facsimile] on closing fly leaves." In addition, this copy has a photo of Carrington and Mrs. Barton (with Carrington's notes), an additional photo of Smith taken the day he died (with Carrington's notes), a four-page printed tribute to Smith, and a two-page (on two leaves) facsimile of a fair copy manuscript of "America" in Smith's hand. Octavo. [xxx], 382, [2, blank] pages. With four plates inserted throughout. Publisher's full burgundy cloth, front cover ruled in gilt, rear cover ruled in blind, spine lettered in gilt. Spine a bit sunned and rubbed, neat white line on rear board, some light foxing in text, text overopened in a few places, title page a bit loose. Still a very good copy of this unique item with an excellent association to Rev. William E. Barton. Barton was a clergyman who became one of the early twentieth century's most prominent scholars and book collectors of material related to Abraham Lincoln and the Samaritans. Sabin 84056.Auction Info
