Description: Hardcover. 12mo. Published by Sheldon & Co., New York, 1874. 215 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have shelf-wear present to the extremities (boards are lightly scuffed and worn). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Gideon Welles (1802-1878) was the U.S. Secretary of the Navy from 1861 to 1869. This text is his response to Charles Francis Adams's April 1873 address, "Memorial Address on the life, character and services of William H. Seward." Welles maintained that it was "a document which, if permitted to pass uncorrected, would be likely to contribute to, and strengthen false history." In it, Seward's abilities seemed to outweigh the President's. Welles set the record straight, to his way of thinking, in three papers published by the Galaxy in late 1873. This volume is an expanded and combined version of those efforts.
