Hardcover. Condición: Very good +. First Edition. Tall octavo, 512pp., illustrated. A sharp, square, very good or better copy in the publisher's green rough-grain cloth. Bottom corners gently bumped, and some foxing to the numerous steel engravings, but an otherwise nice, clean copy. A unique example, which bears the wonderful label of one Joseph Woodroffe of St. Clairsville, Ohio on the front paste-down. The label indicates that Woodroffe was the "Belmont, Guernsey, and Harrison County Agent for Randall's Practical Shepherd. Belmont County Agent for Solon Robinson's Facts for Farmers and the Family Circle, Greeley's American Conflict, Civtors's History of American Conspiracies, from 1760 to 1860, Victor's History of the Southern Rebellion, Pittenger's Daring and Suffering, Geer's Beyond the Lines, Steel Plate Portraits of Gens. Grant, Sherman and all other prominent men. All the publications and Books of the M. E. Church, Family Bibles, Commentaries, or any good book furnished at Publisher's prices and terms. GOOD AGENTS are wanted to canvass and supply each Township with the above name and other good works." The label measures about 3 5/8" x 6", though it was cut unevenly. The text is printed in (we count) eleven typefaces, and bears a handsome, but modest border. Rudimentary internet sleuthing suggests that Woodroffe was a Methodist Episcopal preacher, in addition to his side gig of bookselling. Based on the final appeal on his label, it seems he ran a network of local agents within an area of several counties in rural east-central Ohio, at the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. A wonderful document of rural Ohio bookselling history, paired with one of the most popular biographies published at the close of the Civil War.

Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. 512 p. front., port., maps. 19 cm. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER ILL THE SECESSION JUGGLE IN KENTUCKY. The legerdemain by which the extreme Southern States were juggled out of the Union to feed the ambition of their leaders, had proved eminently successful. A Confederate dictionary had been made, in which slavery was called "the South; " rebellion, " secession; " the execution of the laws, " coercion; " and the desires of the conspirators, "the Constitution." A Confederate logic had been constructed, in which a system of postulates was substituted for the old-fashioned syllogism, and every thing taken for granted which it was impossible to prove. Only let it be granted that where thirteen or more parties have entered into an agreement with each other, any one of them can rightfully withdraw from the arrangement whenever he chooses, without the consent of the others, and you can prove any thing. A man whose mind is so organized that he can believe that, can believe any thing. And the Southern people were carefully taught to believe it. It followed, of course, that while those States which chose to " secede" could not rightfully be " coerced" to remain in the Union, those States which chose to stay must be forced to secede. Unexpectedly, Kentucky chose to stay. Then the inventors of the Confederate dictionary and the Confederate logic put their heads together and hatched a new lie. They called it Neutrality. It meant that Kentucky was to be neutral until the rebellion should become strong enough to swallow her at a mouthful. She was to arm herself to resist invasion from the South orfrom the North. The governor, Beriah Magoffin, a secessionist, organized the State militia in the interest of his faction, and issued a proclamation declaring that Kentucky would remain neutral. Fair.
